An emergency safety inspection of 75 Airbus A329 aircrafts registered
in the country was launched on Thursday after investigators concluded a
defect in an A329 Indonesia AirAsia aircraft caused is fatal crash last
year.
The Transport Ministry's directorate general of air transport
will probe four airlines — Indonesia AirAsia, Indonesia AirAsia Extra,
Citilink and Batik Air.
"The planes are still allowed to be in operation unless we find
repetitive trouble," Suprasetyo, air transport director general, said in
a press conference on Thursday.
National
Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) said on Tuesday that repeated
problems with the Airbus 320 rudder system was a major factor in
AirAsia's fatal jet accident which killed all 162 people on-board in
December last year.
