Also, yes EU has come down very heavily on Indonesian airlines because of the safety record, but Garuda did announce a big order for 777-300ERs at the Singapore Air Show, and I guess that order would not have been announced if Boeing and Garuda did not believe that Indonesia is heading in the right direction to gain EU approvals. Boeing placed some conditions on Lion when the order for 737-900ERs was announced - Boeing does not want to have one of their planes written off with passengers on board.
Thought: SAW in Queensland could provide a lot of training support for the Indonesian part of the operation. There could be a lot of benefits from the relationship for the Indonesian operation.
