Adam Air, Boeing
Indonesian Directorate General of Civil Aviation, in March 2007,
found that none of the country's 20 major airlines met all safety
standards (Category 1). Adam was placed in Category 3 owing to the
January 2007 Boeing 737-400 crash that killed 102 and a hard landing the
following month that broke the back of a 737-300 at Surabaya. The
carrier later was lifted to Category 2. An Adam spokesperson told Antara
that the airline was doing its best to improve its safety standards.
"We are completing all manuals and revamping the standard operating
procedure," he said. Mar 12, 2008
Adam Air, Boeing
Indonesia's dismal safety record is in the headlines again,
and Adam Air faces a potential grounding after one of its 737-400s
skidded off the runway at Batam Island's Hang Nadim Airport Monday,
injuring five of the 176 passengers and crew onboard. The right wing,
hydraulic system and main landing gear were damaged. The incident,
Adam's third in 18 months, prompted Indonesian Transport Minister
Jusman Syafii Djamal to warn that he may ground the airline. It
currently is Category 2, meaning it meets minimum requirements but has
deficiencies. A downgrade would mean it has three months to rectify
problems or be grounded. Mar 12, 2008
