TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta: The Transportation Department will impose sanctions on seven airlines. According to Director General of Air Transportation at the Transportation Department, Budhi Mulyawan Suyitn, the restrictions were a follow-up as the result of evaluation to 20 scheduled airlines with 30 seat capacity or scheduled cargo.
The evaluation comprised three categories. The first category is fulfillment of civil flight safety regulation requirements. The second is the companies that have fulfilled minimal requirements of civil flights but have not yet fulfilled some of the others. The third, the companies have fulfilled minimum civil flight safety requirements but not yet those which potentially will reduce safety level.
According to Budi, out of 20 airlines evaluated, seven are included in the third category. The seven airlines are those which will receive administration sanction of the first, second and third warning with a three-month interval. If there is not any improvement, it will be continued by freezing the air operator’s certificate (AOC).
The evaluation is carried out every three months. If there is not any improvement, the company’s license will be revoked. This provision will be effective starting tomorrow.
He added, out of the 20 airlines, not one is included as the first category. In the second category, there are 13 airlines.
The Transportation Department also evaluated 34 other airline companies with a capacity below 20 seats or unscheduled cargo. Out of the 34 airline companies, 14 are included in the third category. The remainder are in the second category.
