"The Air of Certificate (AOC) for all of Adam Air`s routes is automatically revoked as of today after the domestic airlines failed to operate for 21 days," Transportation Minister Jusman Safii Djamal said here on Wednesday.
The minister said the AOC would be offered to other airlines which met the requirements.
Previously, Air Transportation Director General Tri Sunoko said his side was ready to revoke Adam Air`s permit for all 21 flight routes if it did not serve the routes for 21 consecutive days.
"Based on existing regulations, its permit is automatically revoked if it does not serve the routes for 21 consecutive days," the director general said.
He said that with 21 routes, Adam Air had a big flight frequency per week, namely 490 domestic flights and 42 overseas flights.
He said if in the future Adam Air was able to operate again, it had to obtain a new air of certificate.
