The fault in this one might lie with the company. In fact, from what this report says, http://tinyurl.com/2djzah some of the airplanes FMS computer database didn't even have any information on the new airport.

With no approach plates and nothing in the database of the GPS, I would go to the alternate as well. But you would certainly try to talk to your company before going there.

I think we'll know more about what happened in a few days.
