Indonesian carriers seek removal from EU blacklist
Three of Indonesia’s largest carriers—Batik Air, Citilink and Lion Air—are seeking a reappraisal of the EU carrier blacklist next month. Of the country’s major carriers, only Garuda Indonesia has been granted full EU access since it was delisted in 2009. “An EU team will review our Directorate General of Civil Aviation oversight of the airlines, both in terms of organisation and regulation,” Indonesian director of Airworthiness and Aircraft Operations, Muhammad Alwi said. He said the airlines would be subject to a safety and operations audit by a team of 7 EU inspectors that were scheduled to arrive in Indonesia in the last two weeks of April. As of the end of Dec 2015, Indonesia has 57 airlines banned on the EU list. <br/>
