Indonesia to investigate all AirAsia flight schedules

Reuters Updated - December 07, 2021 at 01:45 AM.

Indonesia’s transport ministry will investigate all Indonesia AirAsia flight schedules from Monday, a government official told Reuters on Saturday, as part of a government probe into the passenger jet that crashed.

“We are going to investigate all AirAsia flight schedules,’’ Djoko Muratmodjo, acting general director for air navigation in the transport ministry, said.

“Hopefully we can start on next Monday. We won’t focus on licences, just schedules.’’

“It might be possible to revoke AirAsia’s licence in Indonesia,’’ Muratmodjo added.

Ships searching for the wreck of an AirAsia passenger jet that crashed with 162 people onboard have pinpointed two “big objects’’ on the sea floor, the head of Indonesia’s search and rescue agency said on Saturday.

Indonesia AirAsia CEO Sunu Widyatmoko told reporters that the company would cooperate with the government investigation, but declined to elaborate.
