Another Indonesian Airline Grounded
Online news media in Indonesia reported tonight that the DGCA is grounding Riau Airlines, effective within the next 72 hours. The reason stated was that a conflict is ongoing between management and chief pilot, and that unless this is resolved an unsafe condition exists.
I heard a couple of weeks ago that the pilots were unhappy about more flight hours required by the CEO. Is this the sign of a coming pilots shortage? Or any other factors inside Riau? Anyone knows more?
