TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta: Indonesia has been appointed as a model country for the application of an air traffic contingency plan to manage world flights.
The appointment was based on the size and strategic value of Indonesia’s aerial area.
The contingency plan is air traffic management that anticipates the disturbance of aviation traffic services guiding by the air traffic service unit.
A disturbance may be caused by natural disasters, technical errors, fires or crimes.
Kyotaro Harano, Regional Officer for Air Traffic Management of the International Civil Aviation Organization Asia Pacific region, has stated that Indonesia’s aerial area has an significant role in the air traffic system of the Asia Pacific region.
“It is used by carriers from east to west and vice versa,” he said after an opening of Air Traffic Management Contingency Plan Finalization Meeting at the Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Jakarta, yesterday (04/25).
Kyotaro went on to say that Indonesia was also measured as disaster-prone country--including earthquakes, tsunami waves and volcanic eruptions--as the basis of the appointment.
Those sorts of disasters had the potential to seriously disturb air traffic serviced.
Should a natural disaster cause any dysfunctions at two area control centers in Indonesia, this would affect international flights.
