Airlines have for years been embarrassed by photographs and videos taken by disgruntled passengers with smartphones and posted on social media. Indonesia’s national carrier is fighting back.
PT Garuda Indonesia issued a directive on Tuesday asking passengers not to take snaps or record footage inside the cabin. Days earlier, a business-class customer’s video blog had shown Garuda flight crew handing out food menus scribbled on scraps of paper. As well as menus, the plane also ran out of champagne and white wine, the blogger said.
