Unfortunately, the organization did not extend to ensuring taxis were available for passengers on delayed flights. Sometimes there are no taxis at the airport found, official or otherwise, available for passengers arriving on a delayed flight. Already delayed incoming flights were forced to circle Bali while awaiting landing permission for over 30 minutes, and once landed still had to wait for parking slots as the airport was so busy.
