Executive Summary PDF Print E-mail
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Ministry of Transportation,Government of the Republic of Indonesia (GoI) is responsible for civil aviation policy, regulation, safety and security oversight through the GoI Aviation Act 1992, together with a number of Presidential and Ministerial Decrees. Under these arrangements, DGCA is responsible for the safety and regulation of civil aviation in Indonesia, including oversight of airport and airworthiness standards as well as regulating Air Traffic Control, Airspace Management and Air Service Agreements.

Current Ministry of Transportation policy and DGCA policy provide for strategic changes to Indonesia’s airspace management system, commencing this current year 2008. The objective is to merge the current two-airspace management systems into a single airspace management system, along with separation of the regulator from operations and its restructure into a capable regulator for the future growth and provision of more efficient, safe and secure services for the aviation industry in Indonesia. This will include re-organization of air traffic management and airport service providers Angkasa Pura 1 and Angkasa Pura II, into single service providers for air traffic management services and operations and airport ownership, services and operations. To support planned growth in civil aviation and to address known deficiencies, Indonesia’s civil aviation capabilities require enhancement and reform. Consequently, in 2007 Indonesia’s National Safety and Security Evaluation Committee for Transportation (EKKT) developed nine recommendations for accelerated implementation.

The DGCA Civil Aviation Strategic Action Plan (CASAP) was developed in mid 2007 taking into account the nine recommendations agreed by the GoI. The CASAP provides a roadmap for capability enhancements consistent with the Global Aviation Safety Roadmap, national, international and regional plans and recommended world’s best practice in civil aviation safety. The CASAP identifies a key theme of improved services, safety and security through compliance. The CASAP also describes five key strategic objectives for sustainable civil aviation safety improvement. These areas are:
  • enforce governance,
  • enhance safety of operations,
  • invest in the right skilled and motivated people,
  • strengthen operations and improve service efficiency; and
  • accelerate technology enhancements

The CASAP, subject to regular review and change, is a dynamic policy and implementation document which reflects changing priorities over time and addresses holistic civil aviation reform requirements for implementation over the short, mid and longer terms in Indonesia.

To implement the CASAP, DGCA requires to establish a Civil Aviation Transformation Team and Integrated Program Management (CATT). The purpose of the CATT is to assist DGCA accelerate, coordinate, communicate, and control the implementation of policy decisions, the nine recommendations of the EKKT, and the CASAP priorities announced by DGCA at the DGCA National Civil Aviation Safety and Security Summit held in Bali on 2-3 July 2007.

Part of the CATT role will be to coordinate internal and external assistance for DGCA in the planning and implementation of a separate Public Service Organization (Badan Layanan Umum), charged with the responsibility of providing enhanced air traffic management services which are currently undertaken by the current service providers. The development of a single ATM service provider and a National Indocontrol Centre is inherent in the establishment of the BLU entity. The entity should be developed based on world’s best practice in organization, governance, management and operations. It will be a cornerstone in achieving the objectives of a single airspace management system and provision of enhanced safe, secure and efficient services.

The resulting organization is to remain under the Ministry of Transportation, is to be a stand-alone entity and run along commercial lines. The BLU entity should provide for an efficient and well-governed organization to reduce and where possible, eliminate Government subsidies which currently flow to the current service providers. Profit from the provision of services to the industry is to be re-invested within the BLU for future development needs and to accord with public service obligations. In addition, the BLU entity should provide an additional source of funds as a dividend to the Government of Indonesia or provide an additional source of funds which can be used as supplementary funding for the Regulator to reduce full reliance and eventually eliminate reliance on the State Budget.
