This is a fine example kids why as pilots you cannot trust your operations team.
The runway was closed at that time! What did they plan to land on, the water? Always closed on a Wednesday morning! The initial delay caused this. They went to cross into Indonesian airspace and was told the runway is closed. Nothing to do with Indonesian's and nothing to do with an aircraft change.
What an incredible mistake by a company that is meant to be an airline! What else gets told to the media which we all are fooled to believe in other industries. Makes you wonder!
Maybe someone can find the information/chart and put it up here from the airport directory information.
You have absolutely no idea what you're on about.
