I would think the main thing on Garudas agenda would be to remain viable.
Since the bombings and drug arrests Australians have stayed away from Bali 'big time'. The collapse of AP didn't help.
If Australians were still going in the same numbers as before the bombings, Garuda would possibly not have to change their schedules and possibility AP would still be flying. The reluctance of the big Travel Agencies in Australia to promote Bali has not helped.
You don't have to go to the travel industry stats or Census bureau to have an indication of numbers visiting Bali. Just look at this site, a few years ago the number of posts per day was far greater than what we see now. It would be interesting if the Forum Admin could post some stats!
