as they too are in financial trouble. If you read a little more than the "Bali Newsletter" you would know that Garuda has just deferred the payment of their principle. This was in agreement with their European Creditors so there is no issue of them going "belly up". The Indo Gov can not afford for Garuda to collapse as it would be a political nightmare for them and complete loss of face. Garuda and AP are two completely different companies and I have no hesitation in recommending them. They have been promoting Bali for 20 years in Australia and have stuck with it through thick and thin. How many other airlines have come and gone during this time? 3 or 4? Garuda is still the only ones promoting Bali.
Garuda has also announced that they purchasing new Boeing aircraft and will start up their European services again at the end of this year.
