in my honest opinion, the authority in indonesia is partly to blame for this incident.
You can't be serious can you? Lion Air operates in to other airports with even less landing distance available than this. Semarang is a case in point with only 1850 meters. And what has the runway width got to do with this incident? Both incidents involved runway over runs. You can make the runways width 150 meters and they would have still over ran the runway.
