Indonesia suspends airline's Sunday flights from Surabaya for violation of permit
FMT
SINGAPORE: In the wake of Indonesia’s suspension of AirAsia Indonesia’s Surabaya-Singapore flight on Sundays, civil aviation authorities here said that the airline had received Singapore approval for daily flights until March.
The airline had been operating the flight four times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
However Indonesian officials said the Sunday service had not been authorised and went beyond their permit. The Sunday service has been suspended pending a review and in the face of a possible threat to revoke the airline’s licence.
Bernama reports that the Civil Aviation Authority here and Changi Airport Group had said the airline had received Singapore approval for winter season daily flights from October to March. Before an airline can launch a service between two points, it needs to obtain approval of its flight schedules from the respective civil aviation authorities at each end of its flight routing separately.
These daily flights were approved as there were available air traffic rights under the bilateral ASA and the slots at Changi Airport were available.
Airlines may adjust their flight frequencies in the course of a season in response to market demand or operational requirements.
