JAKARTA (AFP)--Indonesian budget airline Adam Air has been banned from flying on safety grounds, the country's chief of air transport said Tuesday.
"The transport ministry has decided to revoke Adam Air's operational specification, effective 12:00 am Wednesday (1700 GMT Tuesday)," Budhi Muliawan Suyitno told reporters. "With this, Adam Air is banned from operating its aircraft. All of its planes must be automatically grounded."

Adam Stops Operations
... a few hours before the Ministry ban, Adam already
announced that they would not operate starting the 21st. They have 5 million US$ unpaid fuel and other financial problems.
So effectively the authorities killed Adam Air - just after it died the "financial death".
If they would have banned it a week ago, it may have earned Indonesia some international respect for starting to properly regulate the airlines. Now it just looks cheap...

EU Black List
Just studied the EU Black list forbidding airlines to operate flights in or out of the community. All airlines which operate under the supervision of Indonesia seem to be banned.
