Monday, March 26, 2007 Warning on flight risks By FlyingNews @ 10:36 AM :: 373 Views :: 0 Comments :: Commercial Airlines   DFAT took the unusual step of posting details of a recent Indonesian aviation audit on its official website at the weekend. It showed that national carrier Garuda and dozens of smaller Indonesian passenger and charter airlines were not fully up to scratch, according to Indonesia's own civil aviation authority. The audit was ordered by the Indonesian Government after a spate of deadly air accidents, including this month's Garuda GA-200 crash landing at Jogjakarta that killed 21 people, including five Australians. The Indonesians have given six other smaller commercial airlines three months to improve safety standards or face closure.
