Directorate General of Civil Aviation Reaffirms Indonesia Airlines Not Yet Authorised to Operate
JAKARTA (BeritaTrans.com) – The Directorate General of Civil Aviation at the Ministry of Transportation has once again affirmed that PT Indonesia Airlines Holding is not yet permitted to conduct flight operations as it has not fulfilled all licensing requirements mandated by regulation.
The Standard Certificate held by the company has not yet been verified in either the Online Single Submission (OSS) system or the Integrated Air Transport Licensing Information System (SIPTAU).
"Consequently, the certificate is not yet legally valid and cannot serve as a basis for flight operations," stated Director General of Civil Aviation Lukman F. Laisa on Thursday (24/7/2025).
One of the key requirements yet to be fulfilled is the submission of a Business Plan containing fleet acquisition plans, operational areas, organisational structure, financial capacity, and a five-year service plan.
Without the completion of this document, the verification process cannot proceed and no operational permit can be issued.
He reiterated that every airline must follow all licensing stages in an orderly and complete manner before being declared legally authorised to operate.
"We emphasise once more that 'not yet verified' status means the process is incomplete. Without complete documentation, permits will not be granted, and flight activities must not be conducted," he said.
To date, there is not a single licensing document confirming that Indonesia Airlines has the right to provide air transport services. The process of issuing an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) cannot even be applied for as the initial stages have not yet been completed.
"Establishing an airline is not merely an administrative matter — it concerns safety and operational compliance. Therefore, all processes must be carried out correctly, and the public needs to receive accurate information," he added.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation remains fully open to business entities wishing to establish new airlines. However, every process must be conducted transparently, accountably, and in accordance with prevailing regulations.
