Please can somebody with responsibility offer a response. I fly there frequently, and I can say with knowledge and conviction that, Garuda aside, the local carriers of this huge country are downright dangerous. Pick any, and review their record, and compare to other countries in the region.
IATA has no regulatory authority over aircraft operations. Perhaps you meant ICAO but even then the Licencing authority of the operating country usually has the last word (at least over operations within their country)
