The Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) through the Directorate General of Civil Aviation ensures that PT Indonesia Airlines Holding is still unable to fly in Indonesian skies.
Director General of Civil Aviation, Lukman F. Laisa, said that this Singaporean airline has not met all licensing requirements required by regulations.
Lukman emphasized that the standard certificate that the company already has has has no verified status in the Online Single Submission (OSS) system or Air Transport Integrated Licensing Information System (SIPTAU).
"Thus, the certificate is not legally valid and cannot be used as the basis for flight operations," he said in an official statement, Thursday, July 24.
Lukman also said that one of the important requirements that had not been met was the submission of a Business Plan which contained plans for fleet control, operating areas, organizational structures, financial capabilities, and service plans in the next five years.
"Without the fulfillment of this document, the verification process cannot be continued and no operational permits can be issued," he said.

Therefore, Lukman emphasized that every airline must follow all stages of licensing in an orderly and complete manner before it can be declared valid for operation.
"We reiterate that the status of not yet verified means that the process has not been completed. Without complete documents, permits will not be granted, and flight activities cannot be carried out," said Lukman.
Lukman said that until now, there was not a single licensing document stating that Indonesia Airlines had the right to provide air transportation services. The process of issuing the Air Operator Certificate (AOC), has not even been submitted because the initial stage has not yet been completed.
"The establishment of airlines is not just administrative, but concerns aspects of operational safety and compliance. So all processes must be passed properly, and the public needs to get accurate information," added Lukman.
Even so, Lukman said that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation still opens the widest possible space for business entities that want to form new airlines.
"However, every process must be carried out in a transparent, accountable manner, and in accordance with applicable regulations," he said.
Previously, Indonesia Airlines management opened its voice regarding the statement by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation of the Ministry of Transportation emphasized that PT Indonesia Airlines Holding had not been able to carry out flight services because its Standard Certificate was still unverified.
Responding to this, the Chief Executive Officer of Indonesia Airlines, Iskandar emphasized that his establishment as a national airline was not just a discourse. Indonesia Airlines officially announced significant progress in the form of obtaining four standard air transportation certificates from the applicable aviation authorities, both for domestic and international services.
"We emphasize that Indonesia Airlines is not a figment. Our establishment process is in accordance with the legal corridors and national aviation regulations. We deeply regret the baseless accusations of hoaxes' and can injure the investment spirit of the aviation sector in Indonesia," he said in a statement to VOI, Saturday, July 19.
Iskandar said Indonesia Airlines had obtained four certificates signed by the Minister of Investment and Downstreaming/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) on behalf of the Minister of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia.
These certificates include Domestic Scheduled Commercial Air Transport Certificates for Passengers or Passengers and Cargo, Foreign Scheduled NIaga Air Transport Certificates for Passengers or Passengers and Cargoes, certificates for Non-Scheduled Foreign Commercial Air Transport for Passengers or Passengers and Cargo and Other Unscheduled Commercial Air Transport Certificates.
"This achievement also answers and denies hoax accusations previously made by Ministry of Transportation officials regarding the plan to establish Indonesia Airlines," said Iskandar.
