There are currently runways works being conducted on Bali's only runway. These works happen over night concluding at 8am each morning.
When there is a forecast probability of fog 30% or greater, the pilot's of GA728 will not depart Bali. The fog is generally forecast between 2am and 8am. When this fog is forecast in Perth the Garuda pilots would generally delay the flight a few hours and depart at a time in-which they will arrive after the forecast period of fog has concluded. As there are runway works on they can't just delay the flight for a few hours, they have to wait until the runway reopens at 8am.
Departing after the works at 8am, is causing there delayed 11:30 arrivals into Perth, not a lack of aircraft.
