Lion air :" We find an incompatibility between the National Transportation Safety Committee`s preliminary report and news contents published by several local media"
"there were media reports informing that the Lion Air plane that crashed into the Java Sea on Oct 29 had not been able to fly normally since its flight from the resort island of Bali to Jakarta on Oct 28.This statement is not true,"
Lion air file a request for the KNKT`s clarification to find whether or not the statement was made by the committee`s credible sources. If the KNTK failed to respond to Lion Air`s written clarification, the airline company would take a legal action

KNKT :“The plane was airworthy during its departure from Denpasar, Bali, under flight number JT043 and its departure from Jakarta under flight number JT610,” as contained in the release, which further negates rumors that the plane’s airworthiness was to be questioned."
That same rumor was also denied by Lion Air as its carrier and maintains that the unit was good to go and corresponds with existing documents based on the Aircraft Fligt Maintenance Log (AFML) passed by the carrier’s engineers that act as releasemen.
The releaseman had conducted a series of tests and checked the reportedly faulty instruments as it landed in Jakarta. The AFML was then signed by the engineers since they deemed that the technical issues had been fixed.
