It also sadly shows the weakness of the NZ government. Garuda and Batik continue to fly into NZ; if the new government were serious about resolving this situation they would put a stop to that immediately.
Not that it would happen anyway but neither Garuda nor Batik Indonesia fly to NZ. Batik Malaysia (Malindo) do fly Auckland-Perth though. But as they are on a Malaysian AOC not relevant.
