U.S. warns against flying on Indonesia's airlines
Fliers may want to think twice about flying on Indonesian airlines in the near future. "The United States warned its citizens Tuesday against flying on Indonesian airlines following a string of accidents, saying the country's civil aviation authority did not meet minimum international safety standards," The Associated Press writes. Indonesian carriers have been involved in multiple accidents during the past few months, something that has put a spotlight on the nation's aviation safety standards. "Whenever possible, Americans traveling to and from Indonesia should fly directly to their destinations on international carriers," the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta said in a statement on its website.
