Garuda may not be a very good airlines up to about 3 years ago. But this airline has managed to turn around so successfully that it may soon be a good contender for the best in the region here in Southeast Asia region.

The latest survey from the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (here) where GA actually came on top of the pack (even higher than SQ and MH which ironically scored the lowest) should put any doubt on Garuda's quality to rest. It may not be the best yet but as the survey concluded, it has certainly exceeded a lot of expectations of the flying publics.
