I do not want to panic, but Sriwijaya Air is on EU banned airlines list:

All Indonesian carriers are banned in 2007, including Garuda.

2 years later, Garuda's ban was lifted, then it relaunched its route to Amsterdam.

Recently, ban for Indonesia AirAsia, Lion Air, and Citilink are also lifted.

Sriwijaya Air has still long way to go. Fortunately it is rarely involved in any aviation incidents. Only 4 accidents involving Sriwijaya Air during its operation, and none of them causing death. I'm really optimistic that the ban for Sriwijaya Air will be lifted soon.

GA 330 - is that unusual for a Solo rotation?
I've checked the FR24 during March 2017. It was a special flight scheduled every Friday, returning to its base in CGK after serving "umrah" flights (SOC-JED v.v.).
