The first plane crash in 221 was Indonesia. Why are there so many air crashes in Indonesia in recent years?
After a Boeing 737-5 crashed on Saturday, Indonesia's controversial aviation safety record once again became the focus. In the past ten years, 7 people in Indonesia have died in air crashes.
Indonesia is one of the busiest and fastest growing aviation markets in the world. But it is also the most dangerous aviation market.
Indonesia is a region with a high incidence of flight accidents. In recent years, there have been almost average plane accidents every year.
on December 28th, 214, a passenger plane of AirAsia Indonesia crashed off the coast of Java, Indonesia, killing all 162 people on board. The model is A32.
On June 3th, 215, a C-13 transport plane of Indonesian military crashed in a residential area in Medan, killing all 122 people on board and many people on the ground.
in August p>215, Indonesia's Trigana ATR plane crashed, killing all 54 people on board.
on October 29th, 218, a B737 Max-8 passenger plane crashed into the sea in lion air. The passenger plane was put into use for less than three months, and all the passengers on board were killed.
On other occasions, there were several incidents in which the runway was drawn before and after takeoff and landing. This is closely related to the general aging of the aircraft used and the local aircraft safety management. There are many islands in Indonesia, the aviation industry is relatively active, and there are many small planes.
Geoffrey Thomas, an Australian aviation expert, pointed out several reasons why Indonesia's aviation record is so poor: many runways do not meet international standards, navigation equipment is not perfect, and there are many low-cost airlines in Indonesia.
He said: "In the past 1 to 15 years, the Indonesian authorities have been criticized for their poor supervision of their airlines, so much so that the European Union banned most Indonesian airlines from flying to Europe. However, these bans were lifted in 218 because the Indonesian authorities have been working hard to improve the supervision of Indonesian Airlines.
in a paper recently published in the journal of advanced transportation, researchers Jason Middleton and Carlo Caponecchia found that there are several reasons for Indonesia's poor traffic safety record. In addition to poor supervision and enforcement, there are also common phenomena in Indonesia, such as non-compliance with standard operating procedures and poor management of crew members. In addition, there are major obstacles such as communication, infrastructure and weather. The two researchers found that Indonesia "faces a unique difficult situation in civil aviation safety".
