Jatayu Airlines

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jatayu Airlines (Jatayu Gelang Sejahtera) was an airline based in Jakarta, Indonesia. It operated domestic services from Jakarta and was established in 2000. Its main base was Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Jakarta.[1]

The airline plans to relaunch using Boeing 737-200 aircraft[2].

On 26 June 2007, The Indonesian Transportation Ministry discontinued the airline's Aircraft Operator Certificate. The reason given was because of "the management's inability to consistently apply flight safety measurements as stipulated."[3]

[edit] History

The Transportation Ministry in February 2007 delayed license revocation of 11 idle airlines, including PT Jatayu Gelang Sejahtera, to give restructuring opportunities to the operators. The airline has re-applied for licences[5].

In March 2007 the Indonesian transport ministry, under huge political pressure to improve air safety in Indonesia, warned it will close seven airlines unless they improve training and maintenance within the next three months. The ministry developed a formula for ranking the airlines in three bands. Those in the third (least safe) band are: Adam Air, Batavia Air, Jatayu Airlines, Kartika Airlines, Manunggal Air Services, Transwisata Prima Aviation and Tri-MG Intra Asia Airlines[2].
