Indonesia was the first plane crash on 202 1. Why are there so many air crashes in Indonesia in recent years?

After a Boeing 737-500 plane crashed on Saturday, Indonesia's controversial aviation safety record once again became the focus. In the past decade, 700 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 high incidence of flight accidents. In recent years, plane accidents have occurred almost every year on average.

On June 30th, 20 15, the Indonesian military 1 C- 130 transport plane crashed in the residential area of Medan, killing all 122 people on board and many people on the ground.

On other occasions, there have been several incidents in which the runway was scratched before and after takeoff and landing. This is closely related to the general aging of the aircraft used and the safety management of local aircraft. There are many islands in Indonesia, the aviation industry is 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 10 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 on 20 18, because the Indonesian authorities have been working hard to improve the supervision of Indonesian airlines.

In a recent paper published in Advanced Transportation Journal, 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 law enforcement, there are also widespread phenomena in Indonesia, such as non-compliance with standard operating procedures and poor crew management. In addition, there are major obstacles such as communication, infrastructure and weather. The two researchers found that Indonesia "faces a unique and difficult situation in civil aviation safety".
