The Straits Times reports:

JAKARTA - Indonesia has suspended 61 flights from five airlines who have been found to have no valid permits to fly from the country, its transport minister Ignasius Jonan said on Friday.

The decision to review flight permits comes in the wake of the tragedy involving AirAsia flight QZ8501 which crashed into the sea while on its way from Surabaya to Singapore.

AirAsia was later found in violation of running the flight on a Sunday without valid permit from Indonesia.

Mr Jonan also said that the ministry has suspended 11 officials for negligence and have audited 5 airports in the country since the ill-fated crash.
