Flying the Unfriendly Skies
Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan must be commended for looking into violations of air flight licenses. The investigation was triggered by the temporary freezing of the AirAsia Surabaya-Singapore flight PK-AXC QZ8501, which crashed in the Karimata Strait, offshore Pangkalan Bun in Central Kalimantan on December 28, last year. The investigation results were announced by Jonan on Friday last week.
Five airlines were found to have violated 61 of their flight permits. The five are Garuda Indonesa (4 violations), Lion Air ( 35), Wings Air (18), TransNusa (1) and Susi Air (3). These five airlines have been penalized and 11 of their officials have been given sanctions.
