JAKARTA - The pilot of a Garuda Indonesia aircraft that crashed at Yogyakarta Airport killing 21 people last year has been arrested by police on charges that include manslaughter, his lawyer said.
Captain Marwoto Komar, who was arrested after eight hours of interrogation, was also charged with other offences including violating aviation law and could face more than five years in jail, said the pilot's lawyer, Muhammad Assegaf.
The Boeing 737, with 140 people on board, bounced and skidded off the runway in the central Javanese town of Yogyakarta before bursting into flames in a rice field last March.
Both pilots survived the crash, which happened less than three months after an Adam Air aircraft disappeared with 102 passengers and crew on board off Sulawesi island.
"We think there is no basis for his arrest," Assegaf said. "I believe [it] has raised a lot of eyebrows among the global aviation community."
Last year a report by the National Transport Safety Commission said the pilot ignored 15 warnings as he descended too rapidly, but declined to attribute the crash to "human error" or "pilot error".
