+ Image Copyright

I've found an image of the Fukuoka accident from 1997 on AirDisaster.com, but the photographer is described as unknown. Do you think it is possible to use this image here without infringing Wikipedia fair use terms?

+ To-do List:

Using Ryanair as a guideline for an FA-quality airline article, add information about structure of management etc.

Also, would be useful if somebody would begin an article about GA flight 152 that killed over 230 people in 1997. Sometimes struggle to believe some of the things that aren't on this website! Is the most deadly airline incident in Indonesian history.

Struggling to find information about previously-operated aircraft types - anybody know where I could find this?

Using information from here, can anybody make a graph showing the fluctuation in passenger numbers since 1991? A scale between 4m and 10m would be perfect. It would also nicely illustrate the downturn in fortunes in the last 1990s. {Apex204 14:36, 17 November 2006 (UTC)}

+ History section - This must be a joke. Appears to contradict itself about flights to Amsterdam and needs a total re-write. Information about in-flight meals, punctuality and future expansion are POV at worst and speculation at best. Apex204 17:50, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, forgot to mention what I did in my edit. Split up destinations and classes of travel, mentioned recent restructuring and profits, fixed some spelling errors. Thanks.Pattercakes 13:17, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

What's going on with this photograph of the Garuda and SIA planes that hasn't appeared? It doesn't even seem to exist. Pattercakes 13:21, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good And Reliable Under Direct Administration.

Dear All, As an Indonesian, I don't like Wikipedia put the acronim GARUDA=Good And Reliable Under Dutch Administration. Do you know how much Indonesian suffers from Dutch for 350 years under Dutch Administration? And how the Dutch ran away saved themselves long before the Japs troops landed in Java in 1942?

Wikipedia is the most Reliable source on the Net, so please be careful when you use the acromim regarding a proud country who gain her freedom with blood and tears. I don't think any Europian will be happy when someone said: Europian was good and reliable under Nazi.

Thanks.

I think it is more of a comment on Garuda, rather than Indonesia as a whole under the Dutch. Furthermore, it's clearly said tongue in cheek. Although, it's probably an irrelevancy for an encyclopedia. --Merbabu 12:28, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article on Garuda...

This recent article on Garuda's troubles and possible improvement is good info for this page. please use. --Merbabu 12:28, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Travel classes

Judging by my research, Garuda doesn't operate aircraft with a first class cabin. Can anyone confirm this (or prove that they do have first?) The fleet page doesn't mention first class at all. --Besancon (talk) 01:14, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes I can confirm this they only have business class and economy. User:Scoreed —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.116.246 (talk) 00:36, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
