Strangely enough, Saudi Arabia conducted an audit of Garuda following the European ban, they approved the airline to continue operations into Saudi. So does this mean that the Saudis have an hidden agenda or the European blanket ban is excessive?
Well, not just the Saudis...
Australia, South Korea and Japan too!
The difference was, no one here took notice of the FAA cat 2, then the EU decided to inquire the DGAC on the measures, and got no reply hence the ban... After the DGAC finally realized it was the lack of reply that caused the ban being enforced, well, they got no choice but to answer everyone else's inquiries... The Saudi one was the last one actually.
If Saudi did end up banning us, that'll be a total joke! LOL
