Indonesia 64 Years, it's Avation ?

Tommorow will mark the day the country turns into 64 years of Independence from the Dutch. But, is it aviation still not good ? Let us review some aspects, which are, Airline Competitiveness, Airline Diversity, Safety Factors, and the Regulating board, which is the KNKT or the Komite Nasional Kecelakaan Transportasi. Now, airline competitiveness. It is a word that used to not exsist in Indonesia; because of the monopoly of the State-Run Airline. But since massive transformations, now there are a lot of carriers, and all of them are competing for passangers, which will open up transparancies in the Indonesian Airline and also motivate airlines to market their product effectively and efficiently. Second, Airline Diversity. The airlines Vision and Mission constitute this part, with almost all of the private Airline companies either a Chartered based airline, or a Low Cost Carrier, and the State owned airline, is a Full Service one. Which makes monopoly of the market impossible. Also, the third point, Safety Factors. GMF Aero-Asia is a Maintenance faclility. A lot of the airlines, cannot afford their own maintenance facilities, therefore GMF AA is contracted on a yearly basis to provide checks on all of the Aircraft.

Finally, the regulations board, although came with a lot of critisisms for mishandling all of the accidents and not regulating properly, the DGAC is now on the right track for a safer Indonesia. With the new regulations of the UU Penerbangan or Aviation Law in effect, offenders will pay serious sanctions and may face Operators Licence revoked.

Lets hope that Indonesia, can be a model for other ASEAN countries.
