Indonesia is probing all airlines to see if they are violating terms of their route permits after the transport ministry said AirAsia Bhd. wasn’t authorized to fly to Singapore the day its jetliner crashed into the Java Sea.
AirAsia “clearly” breached its route permit as it wasn’t permitted to fly from Surabaya to Singapore on Sundays, the day the accident occurred, according to Djoko Murjatmodjo, director-general for air aviation at the transport ministry. The ministry is checking other carriers to ensure they comply with all rules, Murjatmodjo said by phone from Jakarta today.
