Airline safety question

After the recent crash, Garuda domestic flights have been declared
unsafe. But they are still flying internationally.

How can there be a difference between intl and domestic standards?

I mean, at the maintenence facility, do they actually give preferential
treatment to planes used for international flights?

Different jurisdictions have different regulations. The aircraft or flights
are no more or less safe between jurisdictions, but the legal definition of
"safe" may vary.

If the maintenance facility is maintaining all aircraft correctly, no
preferential treatment is necessary. If preferential treatment is necessary,
then all the correct maintenance is not being done.

International standards are higher than domestic Indonesian standards,
so how could an airline be declared unsafe within Indonesia but safe
under the international standards?

I don't know. You'd have to ask the party making the declaration. Perhaps it
is politically expedient to make the declaration, irrespective of any of the
realities of air safety.

Perhaps it's just a matter of time before Garuda experiences a similar
situation. Perhaps.

Yes. For example one Indonesian airline has its maintenance for
international aircraft performed in Singapore in order to meet the
international specifications while it does its own maintenance on
domestic Indonesia planes. TAAG in Angola has its international planes
serviced in Paris.

International flights have stricter maintenance rules because Duct
