The European Commission has once again eliminated two Indonesian airline companies from the list of flying bans, following the revocation of flying bans imposed on Garuda and three other Indonesian airline companies.
Minister Counsellor for information, social and cultural division of the Indonesian embassy in Brussels P.L.E.Priatna told Antara`s London correspondent on Tuesday that the two airline companies are Indonesia Air Asia and Metro Batavia.
They are allowed to fly to Europe beginning from July 6, 2010.
He said the decision was taken unanimously by representatives of 27 countries of the European Union after considering the direct explanation and written answers from the two airline companies at a meeting of the Air Safety Committee (ASC) on June 22, 2010, in Brussels.
The decision to lift the flight ban was carried in an EC Regulation No. 590/2010 dated July 5, 2010, which was announced officially in the European Community Journal on Tuesday.
The European Commission had lifted the flight ban for the two airline companies as the result of a reform of the civil aviation sector in Indonesia initiated by the Air Transportation Directorate General in promoting the standard of flight security and safety with international regulations.(*)
