JAKARTA: Director General for Air Transportation, Budhi M. Suyitno, said Thursday that the Transportation Ministry would seek technical assistance from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on flight safety measures.

"If agreed, the FAA will send its four experts on evaluation and regulation methodology, infrastructure, safety equipment and airworthiness," Budhi said as quoted by detik.com news portal.

The program, which will be covered by the Transportation Ministry's budget, should last from one to two months, he said. -JP
