Pangkogabwilhan III Lieutenant\nGeneral Lucky Avianto stated on Saturday evening that the placement of\npersonnel from the TNI Air Force\u2019s Special Forces Corps (Paskhas) was\nintended to allow aircraft to resume operations serving the community.\nAccording to him, the Balinggama airstrip is now guarded by TNI\npersonnel, enabling flight activities to the area to recommence. \u201cI have\njust flown and checked the field,\u201d said Lieutenant General Lucky\nAvianto. He added that besides deploying TNI personnel, his team had\nalso cleared the wreckage of an AMA aircraft that was set ablaze by an\nArmed Criminal Group (KKB), an incident which killed pilot Nicholas\nGosselin on 31 May 2026.
