Ministry of Transport Reaffirms Indonesia Airlines Not Yet Permitted to Operate Flights
Jakarta - The Ministry of Transport has once again affirmed that PT Indonesia Airlines Holding is not yet permitted to serve flights. This is because Indonesia Airlines has not fulfilled all licensing requirements.
Director General of Civil Aviation Lukman F Laisa explained that the standard certificate already held by Indonesia Airlines has not 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.
One of the key requirements that has not been met is the submission of a business plan covering fleet acquisition plans, operational areas, organisational structure, financial capability, and service plans for the next five years.
"We reaffirm that 'not yet verified' status means the process is incomplete. Without complete documentation, a permit will not be granted, and flight operations must not be conducted," Lukman told reporters on Thursday (24/7/2025).
To date, not a single licensing document has been issued stating that Indonesia Airlines holds air transport service rights. The process of issuing an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) cannot even be submitted as the initial stages have not yet been completed.
"Establishing an airline is not merely an administrative matter — it concerns safety and operational compliance aspects. Therefore, all processes must be carried out properly, and the public needs to receive accurate information," Lukman continued.
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.
