In Reply to: Garuda Delays - ex Perth posted by salty on Thursday, 23. August 2007 at 11:51 Bali Time:
its nothing to do with instruments in the aircraft its the instruments on the ground, in Perth we do not have a system called CAT3 it allows the aircraft to land in fog, only Sydney and Melbourne have it in Australia. So when fog or other weather problems are forecast you need to take extra fuel, some aircraft that Garuda use don't have the range to fly to Perth and then carry extra fuel to divert and land in Adelaide or Port Headland.
