Lion Air and safety
Lion Air and safety
I am shocked by the answer of Lion Airlines (The Jakarta Post,
Sept. 27) regarding the malfunctioning door which had to be
closed by people inside and outside the plane.
It shows the wanton disregard for safety. Lion should not have
allowed it to happen. What if the door fell off during flight?
Lion said the authorities approved this? If this is correct, the
Minister of Transportation should be hauled before the House of
Representatives. If incorrect, then Lion has to issue an apology.
It is not enough that some defective equipment is "within
safety limits". There must be no defect.
Jimmy Turangan had a point last month. Passengers should
insist on meeting the president director of Lion, who seems to be
perpetually absent.
