JAKARTA: The Australian and Indonesian air forces conclude Friday their two-week training program for Indonesian air-safety officers at the Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base in East Jakarta.
The training aimed to further develop the professional skills and awareness of Indonesian aviation safety officers.
Group Capt. Ray Press, air force attache at the Australian Embassy in Jakarta, said the Indonesian Air Force (TNI-AU) demands a very high standard in aviation safety.
"The class members will need to acquire a high level of expertise to work directly with TNI-AU squadrons at their air-base level to ensure safety procedures are clearly understood and followed by aviators and support personnel," he said Thursday in a media statement.
The training program involved 33 TNI-AU officers and was part of the AUD$24 million (US$20.3 million) Defense Cooperation Program in Indonesia, which involves two-way exchanges, training courses and military exercises in both countries.
