THE INDONESIAN Transportation Ministry has decided to spare low-cost carriers Lion Air and Indonesia AirAsia from ground-handling permit suspensions, but threatened to promptly revoke the permits completely if their management failed to improve operations.
The ministry had planned to freeze the permits following an incident at Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport on May 10 when a Lion Air bus driver transferred passengers from an international flight to a domestic terminal, leading to 16 foreigners initially skipping immigration checks. A similar incident happened with AirAsia on May 16 at Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali . – The Jakarta Post
