[BDG KUSUMO]

Bung YHG yb.,
tentu wajar saja ada yang marah atau menjadi skeptik atas larangan tsb, namun yang lebih penting ialah untuk
bermawas diri. Boleh dikatakan tidak ada bulan (30 hari) berlalu tanpa ada berita dari Indonesia tentang pesawat
penumpang yang terpeleset, ban meletus, dll sampai yang jatuh. Misalnya untuk saya sangat bizarre atau aneh
ada pesawat di bandara yang nyerempet tiang listrik. Kok seperti dijalan raya saja. Saya pikir sebab-sebabnya
banyak sekali, dan cukup serius. Kita lihat misalnya Malaysia atau Korsel bagaimana dalam rentang waktu 30
tahun dapat mengentaskan diri dari under-development ke modernisasi yang mengagumkan.

Salam, Bismo DG

  1. INDONESIAN ANGER OVER "UNFAIR" E.U. AVIATION BAN

  Indonesian aviation and tourism authorities have been put on the defensive
  by last week's European Union ban on Indonesian airlines
  [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6248490.stm], but are beginning to
  question the timing, methodology and motivation of the move. Although the
  initial reaction has been again to plead their case before the EU Transport
  Commission and cite all the various measures taken recently to boost safety
  of the Indonesian airlines, some senior officials are taking a more
  questioning attitude.

  In an interview with the Jakarta Post, Indonesian Transportation Society
  (MTI) chairman Bambang Susantono expressed skepticism about how the
  commission's experts arrived at their conclusions, "I don't remember them
  coming here to inspect the airlines directly." He said that information for
  the report may have come from pilots flying in and out of Jakarta.

  Garuda Indonesia's Vice President for Operations, Ari Sapari, told
  Indonesian TV that the ban "has followed an uncommon procedure" as the
  "EU has never audited Indonesian airlines." By contrast, American aviation
  authorities have "done their own audit before making their assessments, and
  American authorities have not banned Indonesian airlines," he said.

  Another report quoted Indonesian Consumers Foundation (YLKI) executive
  director Sudaryatno as saying: "We must also look at this from the
  perspective of the saturated markets that exist in the developed world. We
  must be careful as this ban could be part of a strategic plan to ruin the
  reputation of local airlines so that foreign airlines can get a foothold in
  this country."

  He added, "Soekarno Hatta Airport (Jakarta) and Ngurah Rai Airport (Bali)
  are no longer gateways to Indonesia. They have been replaced by Singapore's
  Changi. The situation could worsen if the stakeholders in the industry do
  not take the necessary steps."

  Indonesia was apparently too late to include the latest assessments audit
  that noted significant improvements made by Indonesian operators during
  the past three months, to be included in the EU Commission report, despite
  efforts having been made to do so, explained Director General for Air
  Transportation, Budhi Suyitno to the press.

  Although the ban is technically only applicable to Indonesian airlines
  flying to Europe, it sends out a number of much wider messages, especially
  to travel agencies booking EU citizens on flights to and within Indonesia.
  Insurance companies, too, will not cover EU citizens travelling on
  Indonesian flights, or be legally within their rights to refuse to make
  payouts in the event of a mishap.

  Interestingly, the ban came just before a four-day Strategic Seminar on
  Aviation Safety that started in Bali today. The seminar will include a
  one-day session on "International Agencies Assistance Framework" at which
  donors and aid agencies from the developed countries will outline how they
  can fund safety-upgrade programmes for Indonesian aviation. Effectively,
  this will make Indonesia more dependent on financial and technical handouts
  from abroad.

  The ban comes exactly three months before Bali hosts the annual travel mart
  of the Pacific Asia Travel Association between September 28-30, 2007 to
  which nearly all the buyers and sellers will be flying on Indonesian
  airlines, especially Garuda, the host airline. Although PATA has recently
  been trying to position itself as a champion of aviation liberalisation in
  the Asia-Pacific, there was no immediate comment on the ban on the PATA
  website and no statement was issued. Instead, the organisation's first
  public statement of this week was to herald a strategic partnership with a
  global research company to monitor the Chinese outbound market.

  It was left up to Indonesia Digest Editor Tuti Sunario, a former senior
  official of the Indonesian Tourism Ministry, to defend the industry's
  interests. She wrote in her weekly newsletter: "Most concerned with these
  latest developments is the Tourist Industry which sees the EU ban as another
  threat to international confidence in Indonesia's tourism," especially as
  the market has just "sufficiently recovered from the fear of terrorism."

  "Europe and European tourists form a very important market for Indonesia,"
  Mrs Sunario wrote. European tourists stay between 15-18 days in Indonesia,
  visiting many regions and spending an average of US$1,450 per person per
  stay, as against Asian visitors from Singapore, Malaysia, China or Japan,
  who stay an average of 5-8 days and spend an average of US$ 500
  (Singaporeans) to US$ 838 (Japanese) per stay.

  "It is envisaged that with stagnation in the number of European tourists,
  regions that will suffer most are the poor, outlying traditional villages
  that have so far benefited from tourism, such as those in Toraja, Nias, Lake
  Toba, the Moluccas, Papua, East and West Nusatenggara, and the Dayak
  villages in Kalimantan, but also remote and handicraft villages in Central
  and East Java. She added, "The European ban, although perhaps well meant,
  will in the end thwart those very efforts that Europe - and Indonesia - both
  wish to foster, which are the preservation of Culture, Sustainable
  Environment and the Alleviation of Poverty through the development of
  Tourism."

  Meanwhile, a chart posted on the Indonesian aviation department website
  [http://www.dephub.go.id/udara/dsku/Data/Audit%20Plan%202006.pdf]
  indicates that audits were carried out on several Indonesian commercial
  air-carriers all through 2006. In most of the cases, the department reported
  that it was following up on the findings.

  2. MINISTER SAYS INDONESIA "VERY DISAPPOINTED"

  July 02, 2007 Source: Xinhua -- The Indonesian government is disappointed
  with a decision by the European Commission to ban all Indonesian airlines
  from flying to the European Union and has asked a chance to make a defense,
  an official said Monday. Transportation Minister Jusman Syafii Djamal said
  the decision was unilaterally taken without prior dialogues with the
  government.

  "We consider the EU has acted unfairly and therefore we are very
  disappointed," he was quoted by leading news website Detikcom as saying.
  The minister made his remarks during a meeting with the International Civil
  Aviation Organziation (ICAO) on Bali island. "We do not expect that the
  process to improve aviation safety in Indonesia will involve the isolation
  of (our) airlines," he said at the meeting attended also by ICAO president
  Roberto Kobeh Gonzales.

  Jusman said the government on June 22 asked the EU to give an opportunity to
  the government to brief EU officials about the actions Indonesia has taken
  to improve air transportation safety before the EU announced the ban.
  The EU reportedly agreed to meet Indonesian transport officials but only in
  October as the soonest.
  "That's another reason why Indonesia is very disappointed," said Jusman.

  3. EU'S FLIGHT BAN BEGINS TO TAKE ITS TOLL

  By Andi Abdussalam, Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesia begins to feel the
  impact of the European Commission's plan to ban Indonesian airline companies
  from flying in its airspace, though certain circles said that it would not
  affect domestic flights. In less than a week after Thursday's reports that
  the European Commission would ban 51 Indonesian airline companies from
  flying to the European Union member countries as of July 6, 2007 due to
  flight safety concerns, air travel operators in Indonesia began complaining
  this weekend over a blow to the tourism sector.

  European tourists holidaying in Indonesia are now advised by European travel
  agents to cancel their domestic flights for scheduled visits to other
  Indonesian cities. "We have received complaints from several travel agents
  in Bali and Surabaya that their European guests are urged to cancel their
  flights to other Indonesian cities," Chairman of the Bali office of the
  Association of Indonesian Tours and Travel Agencies (ASITA), Al Purwa said
  at the weekend.

  Concerns over a possible impact on Indonesian tourism of the European
  Commission's action have been raised by several business operators.
  "The European Commission's decision step to ban Indonesian airline companies
  from flying to the region will have a serious impact on tourist arrivals,"
  chief of the South Sulawesi chapter of the Indonesian Hotels and Restaurants
  Association (PHRI) Andi Ilhamsyah Mattalatta said.

  French and German tourists who are traveling from Bali to Surabaya, are now
  urged to cancel their flights to Manado, North Sulawesi, while other
  European tourists holidaying in Bali and intending to travel to Makassar,
  South Sulawesim are also urged to cancel their flight plans.

  "This is serious. While Indonesian airline companies had been banned from
  flying to Europe, the ban also dealt a major blow to domestic tourism as it
  would also affect the world's confidence in flights in Indonesia," Al Purwa
  said, while adding that it would become even worse if major tourist supplier
  countries such as Japan and Australia followed suit.

  Tourists in European Union countries planning to visit Indonesia are asked
  by their travel agents in their countries to sign a statement that they
  would not use Indonesian aircraft. "If the European tourists ignore the
  agreement and use Indonesian aircraft to fly to other domestic destinations,
  insurance companies would not cover such trips," Purwa said.

  The EU ban could reduce the number of foreign tourists visiting Indonesia.
  According to Andi Ilhamsyah Mattalatta, the ban on Indonesian airline
  companies rom flying to Europe would pose difficulties to Indonesia in
  achieving its projection of six million tourist arrivals in 2007.Previously,
  ASITA Chairman Ben Sukma said the ban would have no direct impact on air
  transportation in the country. "The ban would have no adverse effect as no
  Indonesian aircraft is now flying straight to destinations in Europe," he
  said.

  A similar voice was also aired by Vice President Jusuf Kalla. He said the
  ban would pose no problem as national airline companies such as the national
  flag carrier Garuda Indonesia had no scheduled flights to any European
  destination but the ban should be responded to positively. "The positive
  thing is that it will make us more introspective about flight safety," the
  vice president said, adding that criticism of flight safety did not come
  only from the European Union but also from the Indonesian community as
  well as the press.

  Therefore Indonesian airline companies must continue to improve their flight
  safety. "For the time being, there is no problem. So, there is no formal
  effect, only a psychological effect," he said. Sukma and Purwa concurred
  with the vice president. "The ban should prompt the flight regulator, in
  this case the ministry of transportation, to step up its supervision, which
  has been rather lacking, of the national airline companies," Sukama said.

  Purwa on the other hand asked the government to urge domestic flight
  operators to improve the quality of their fleet. "National airline companies
  should improve their rating, such as from grade three to grade two, and
  Garuda, the national flag carrier, must raise its grade to grade one," he
  said.

  In the meantime, The Indonesian National Air Carriers Association (INACA)
  urged the government to act promptly. "The government could among other
  things ask for a clarification on the matter or retaliate in the same way if
  the ban is really implemented," INACA's secretary general, Tengku
  Baharuddin, said. He did not rule out a retaliation because if the EU really
  implements the ban, the existing aviation agreement between Indonesia and
  European countries will automatically become invalid.

  Baharuddin said he was surprised by the the EU's decision because the air
  agreement signed by Indonesia and Europe did not mention safety requirements
  and assessment including a requirement for certain European airlines to
  audit an Indonesian airline company. The agreement only covers such matters
  as traffic, flight slots, taxation and seat capacity. If the aviation accord
  with Europe no longer applies, it is proper for Indonesia as a sovereign
  country to take a firm stand, he said.
