Garuda finally awarded IATA safety clearance
2008-05-29 12:24:00 Flag carrier Garuda Indonesia has finally received safety clearance following a stringent audit conducted by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), president director Emir Syah Satar said Thursday. "The IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) for Garuda was approved on May 14 and will be presented during the IATA annual general meeting in Istanbul on June 1-3," said Emir. "We expect the European Union to refer to the audit result during their session on flight ban in July." The EU has banned all Indonesian airlines from entering the bloc's airspace even though none of the airlines actually serve European routes. The government has proposed four airlines to be exempted from the flight ban. In addition to Garuda, the airlines are Mandala Airlines, which has committed to buying a large number of European Airbus jetliners, and chartered airlines Airfast and Premiair.

Garuda Indonesia pilot arrested over crash - lawyer
2008-02-05 06:17:00 JAKARTA (Reuters) - The pilot of a Garuda Indonesia aircraft that crashed at Yogyakarta airport killing 21 people last year has been arrested by police on charges that include manslaughter, his lawyer said on Tuesday.

2008-01-26 00:50:00 Indonesia?s Supreme Court on Friday sentenced a former pilot for national carrier Garuda to 20 years in jail for the murder of a prominent human rights activist, a court official said.The court overturned its own previous verdict, passed in October 2006, which cleared Pollycarpus Priyanto of a lower court?s conviction and a 14-year jail term for the murder of rights lawyer Munir Thalib.The case has been regarded as a key test of the government?s determination to uphold the rule of law, as well as the accountability of several state agencies, including the spy agency.

How safe is Garuda?
2007-09-07 09:48:00 Sunday Times travel expert, Richard Green: The European Union has banned a number of airlines "operating in conditions below essential safety levels" from operating to any EU state. You can find the list on its website. Most culprits are based in Africa, Afghanistan North Korea, and Kyrgyzstan, but all airlines based in Indonesia are banned too - over 50 of them.Look at www.airfleets.net for information on how old an airline's aircraft are, or if they have had a spate of recent accidents. Garuda's aircraft are younger than most of its domestic competitors, with an average age of 10.8 years, but it has had three fatal crashes in the last 10 years. Merpati and Batavia Air, two large domestic airlines, have 737's with an average age of 24 years, and that's getting a bit too long in the tooth for comfort.Indonesia News Blog: http://indosnesos.blogspot.com-
