I flew out of JOG in December.....It's an airport operating at the limit with regular extended inbound holds due to limited ramp space. There is also a busy military flying school sharing the runway. On the day I was there the place also closed due to storms in the area.

could well be weather related. Several aircraft were circling at the time.

You know it has to be Indonesia when another commercial airliner skids off the runway, closing the airport, and everyone kind of goes, "Meh".

Grooved runways are all well and good if you have the means to carry out rubber removal on a planned maintenance regime and I cant imagine some airports in Asia would be able to afford the kit to do it. It takes more then a high pressure hose that's for sure and if you don't carry out rubber removal the braking coefficient is worse on a grooved runway with rubber build up then those that are not grooved.

Was on a Sempati flight in 1995 into JOG during a thunderstorm, fortunately the crew executed a go around. I hold a PPL and have been in a couple of precautionary landings and a wheels up in a float plane into Abu Dhabi International (all as a passenger) but that JOG flight is the only time I've been concerned for my well being. The 2007 accident at JOG made me realise how my flight might have ended.
No it's not. And the other options are worse.
If you use the old adage about the flight being safer than the drive to the airport and transpose that into Indonesia it takes on an order of magnitude that is hard to imagine, until you've been there.
Try to be a bit selective and, as with any travel, hope that it doesn't happen to you.

The train might be safer but not practical for inter-island travel, the other options are definitely worse.
At least when you fly you're only scared for an hour or two - long distance bus, auto, and boat rides keep you in terror for much longer.
