Arnold Barnett, an MIT statistician who specializes in airline safety, told the New York Times in December that the death rate in airplane crashes over the past decade in Indonesia was one in every million passengers, 25 times the rate in the U. Safety standards for Indonesian carriers have historically been so subpar that in , the EU banned all of the country's airlines. That's since been relaxed somewhat but only four airlines -- Garuda Indonesia, Airfast Indonesia Ekspres, Transportasi Antarbenua and Indonesia Air Asia -- out of the dozens of operators, are allowed to fly into EU airspace.
Fast growing sector. The plane crashed in mountainous terrain in the remote eastern Papua. The country's unique geography has propelled a boom in airlines that serve passengers looking to travel between its 17, islands, something that aviation regulators have struggled to keep up with.
At the same time, the proliferation of low cost carriers and rising disposable incomes in Indonesia means air travel is more accessible than ever. That's three times the size of today's market.
Safety standards lagging. But the number of accidents is growing swiftly as well. Tyler underlined the significant safety issues, calling safety the biggest concern for the development of aviation in Indonesia. In line with the efforts and commitment to providing a safe and comfortable flying experience for its passengers, especially when traveling during the Covid pandemic, Garuda Indonesia consistently prioritises safety and comfort aspects, one of which is by strictly implementing various health protocol policies throughout service aspects especially through physical distancing policies during flights.
The 5-Star COVID Airline Safety Rating confirms excellent airport processing standards that considers all practical elements of contactless technology, customer handling, and social distancing protocols for check-in, boarding, and arrival. Airline lounges meet a high standard of cleanliness procedures and consistency, with good measures in place that facilitate social distancing, and safe delivery systems for food and beverages.
Onboard cleanliness and cabin presentation is at an excellent quality level and may use new techniques for UV sanitisation, and mass disinfectant treatments. The onboard service systems for catering are adapted for COVID times, with reduced contact delivery and enhanced food safety measures for meal presentation. The World Airline Rating programme is a leading international Rating system operating since , which classifies airlines by the quality of product and staff service.
Thousands of Australians are among those taking to the skies in Indonesia more than , according to the latest figures , either on business or as holidaymakers exploring Bali and beyond on the archipelago. Yet, even though there are signs that the carnage of recent decades has begun to slow, it is still an extremely dangerous place to fly compared with Australia.
The government of Indonesia unwittingly contributed to the death toll in when it removed many of the bureaucratic hurdles in the way of new airlines as it encouraged economic growth to lift the island nation out of poverty.

Nevertheless, domestic air travel is expected to double within five years, which worries industry analysts. Last year, it served more than 50 million, and it is the fastest-growing airport in the world, according to the Airports Council International. But Lion Air has all of its attention taken up just meeting internal demand. Lion has about 40 per cent of the domestic market, while national carrier Garuda , which is more focused on international flying, has about 20 per cent.
All are rapidly expanding to take advantage of a middle class that has grown rapidly in the last eight years, to million from 80 million. The World Bank estimates that, in the next 20 years, the Indonesian middle class with enough disposable income to buy air travel will grow from million people to more than million. Last year a Twin Otter from the small regional airline Aviastar crashed in Sulawesi in October, killing all 10 on board.
In August a plane operated by Trigana Air Service — which received a 0 in the AirlineRatings safety score — crashed in remote Papua with 54 fatalities. A Hercules aircraft belonging to the Indonesian Air Force crashed in Medan in June, killing more than passengers on board and more than 20 people on the ground. Indonesia's biggest budget carrier Lion Air has also been in the news after police announced on Monday that four employees had been arrested on suspicion of stealing from passengers' luggage in the hull.
And in November a Lion Air pilot was reportedly grounded for allegedly offering a female, divorced flight attendant to passengers to make up for the delay. Follow Jewel Topsfield on Facebook. Indonesian airlines rank lowest in world for safety. Please try again later. The Sydney Morning Herald.
