Gonna be tight if there are any delays.
Hmm, not completely. Otherwise I would be worried. I'm not sure that GA would risk that, even on brand new 777's they should have enough (6?) to cover any issues. I'd be surprised if it's the same 777 doing LGW-CGK - the onto SYD tbh.

There is also no Thu CGK-SYD-CGK service, or Wed & Fri CGK-LGW-CGK flights so a bit of slack in the schedule.

The thing GA need would be to re-establish it's old reputation as tardy / often late / cancelled etc.
