In Reply to: Garuda flight from Perth Delayed posted by bali4me on Saturday, 11. August 2007 at 08:14 Bali Time:
the Garuda situation is that they do not fuel their planes with enough fuel to divert in case of fog to Kalgoorlie or Leamonth??. If the weather in Perth has any signs of fog then the plane will not leave Bali until the fog is clearing, hence the many delays during winter. I can't understand it all but I was told this by a Qantas ground employee. I asked him why don't they simply put more fuel in to the plane and he had no answer to that, just shrugged his shoulders and said "beats me"
