I can’t help but agree with Massey058, this is rubbish and will do nothing to improve the overall safety performance of Indonesian aviation. There is no link between fleet size and safety, if this were the case then Merpati would be just a (bad) memory while Travira would be acknowledged as the standard for everyone else to aspire to. Whatever happened to the much vaunted ‘operator safety audits’ to raise standards and reverse the EU ban? Let’s wait for ‘Shell Management’ to enlighten us as to the true purpose of this somewhat bizarre ruling.
Massey058: Yes of course Travira have more than two aircraft but it appears the ruling applies to Part 121 operators whereas the bulk of Travira’s fleet is operated under Part 135.
Yep, one step forward, two steps back…….
