JAKARTA - Indonesia has recommended the airlines in the country should not buy Airbus plane as long as the European Union (EU)'s ban on the country's airlines from entering the group's territory is still in place, Transport Minister JusmanSyafii Djamal said here Wednesday.
The minister said that the recommendation has been issued since two weeks ago on the 51 Indonesian airlines, including Garuda, which have been forbidden by the EU to fly at its territory since July 6 following the several air accidents in the country that killed hundreds of people. "As long as the ban is still in place, it is better we do not buy (planes) from Europe," Djamal told a joint press conference after meeting with Indonesian Vice President Jusuf Kalla here.
The minister offered an option for the European Union to end their restriction. The easiest way is to lift the ban, because the ban goes against the principle of open sky policy," he said. The European Commission extended its ban on Indonesian airlines at its meeting on Nov. 28 in Brussels, but the group ended its ban on Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and on Blue Wing Airlines of Surinam.
The minister elaborate that the ban has resulted in the fact that Indonesia's airlines could not make certification and registration process in Europe if they buy a plane from the area. "We are afraid that after the harmonization and then the plane was registered to become Indonesian plane, it could not return to Indonesia because it has violated EU ban, because it entered the EU territory," he said.
