Saw this on the news...

I will NEVER fly Garuda or any other Indo airline. Regardless of who's fault this incident was, they have poor safety standards (lol they claimed they had "world class" safety standards...dont think so!).

What about you guys? We should take a leaf out of the EU's book ...

the description of this on ATSB concerns me..

During the second approach the aircraft appeared to aim short and was instructed to go around but the aircraft levelled and landed past the displaced threshold.
