Change the "Explore" titles painted on the side to "Explore the weeds".

I would recommend taking a boat instead, but they probably have a worse safety record!

:ugh:

I don't know why Garuda Indonesia could not accept the costs associated with removal of this aircraft, Paraya management of this airport should have procedures in place to re-open Praya as soon as possible. No information on any website either...
