As of March 2008, Garuda, along with
all Indonesian airlines, is banned from flying to Europe.
However if Garuda are revitalising the routes to Europe, only the A330's or B772's can be used.

An updated blacklist of unsafe airlines also includes operators from Bulgaria, Moldova, Angola and Ukraine.
Indonesian carriers do not currently fly to Europe, but the ban serves as a warning to consumers not to use these airlines elsewhere in the world.
"European citizens should avoid flying with these carriers," an EU official said. "They are really unsafe."
