“The airline has made progress in the implementation of corrective measures, yet this is not sufficient,” a release from the EU said about Garuda.
“Furthermore the authorities of Indonesia have still to demonstrate that they have completed the corrective actions. Pending both this demonstration and the completion of remedial action by Garuda and the other airlines it was decided that none of the Indonesian carriers can be withdrawn at this stage from the Community list.”
Apart from Indoneisa, the EU blacklist includes carriers from Equatorial Guinea, the Kyrgyz Republic, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Swaziland and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In addition, nine individual carriers’ operations are fully banned in the European Union
“The conclusion is clear: those States or airlines which fail to act decisively to resolve their safety deficiencies will be placed on the list,” said Jacques Barrot, Commission Vice-President in charge of transport.
The Indonesian government had hoped for an early lifting of the ban.
