Indonesia's Contribution
to Global Aviation

Slide The aviation industry The Republic of Indonesia has the 4th largest population in the world with more than 270 million residents. It is the world's largest island country, with more than 17,000 islands that cover an area of 1,904,569 square kilometres (735,358 square miles). Indonesia is the 14th largest by land area and the 7th largest in combined sea and land area in the world. This distance extends 5,120 kilometres (3,181 miles) from east to west and 1,760 kilometres (1,094 miles) from north to south. Indonesia is strategically located between two continents (Asia and Australia) and the Flight Information Region (FIR) covers 2,219,629 square nautical miles.

Prior to the pandemic, Indonesia was one of the fastest-growing air travel markets and was expected to be the fourth-largest air travel market in the world by 2030, according to lATA. The country has 217 domestic and 34 international airports with 3,600+ daily movements as reported by ICAO in August 2018. There are 407 domestic mutes connecting 137 cities within the country and 150 international routes connecting 66 cities in 26 countries. To meet the demand of their anticipated growth, the government is considering opening five new airports

--- A spotlight on Indonesia The global aviation industry grew at a compound annual growth rate of around 5.3 percent between 2009 and 2019, reaching USD838 billion in 2019. The air transport sector supports more than 65.5 million jobs and USD2.7 trillion in global economic activities, according to research released by the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG). Civil aviation serves a critical role in today’s society and addresses the economic, social and environmental impacts of this global industry. The number of scheduled passengers served by the airline industry has increased in all but one of the last 15 years. As of 2018, the Asia Pacific region had the highest share of airline passenger traffic accounting for around one third of the world totals. The region carries the busiest air routes.

According to ICAO’s preliminary compilation of annual global statistics, the total number of passengers carried on scheduled services rose to 4.5 billion in 2019, which was 3.6 per cent higher than the previous year, while the number of departures reached 38.3 million in 2019, a 1.7 per cent increase.

Slide Indonesia’s economy is the largest in Southeast Asia. As a member of the G20 with an upper-middle income, Indonesia is classified as a newly industrialized country. It is the 15th largest economy in the world by nominal GDP and the 7th largest in terms of GDP (PPP). Estimated at USD40 billion in 2019, Indonesia’s internet economy is expected to cross the USD130 billion mark by 2025. Indonesia depends on domestic market and government budget spending and its ownership of state-owned enterprises (the central government owns 141 enterprises).

Indonesia has numerous tourism destinations and coastal settlements. According to the World Bank, Indonesia's ocean resources are worth over USD256 billion annually. Aviation-supported tourism provides economic benefits in local tourism, providing employment opportunities for women and youth participation in remote areas.
--- Seaplane operations in Indonesia Because of its unique geography and accessibility challenges, Indonesia recognized the value of seaplane operations in improving safety and supporting a strong civil aviation sector that can promote and sustain social and economic progress through, as one example, responsible tourism, which is one of the major economic drivers.

In addition to providing recreational access and evacuation in emergencies, seaplanes are an optimal mode of transportation for States with geographical isolation. International provisions are required to further improve safety and encourage a strong civil aviation sector that can promote and sustain social and economic progress through responsible tourism and that depend heavily on water aerodrome operations. Seaplanes have multi-purpose roles, including fire fighting in large inaccessible forests, as well as ocean search and rescue.

It is far easier and more cost effective to build an amphibian port (shore facilities for amphibious aircraft) or install ramps for docking when compared to conventional airports. Several lakes and large rivers, bays and sea are available for this kind of operation and facilitate medical and other services to isolated villages.

Slide Indonesia has been a member of ICAO since 1950, holding a seat on the ICAO Council in 1962 and from 1968 to 2001. In 1994 ICAO recognized Indonesia’s contribution to civil aviation by awarding the Edward Warner Award to Professor Dr. Ing. Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie for his contributions in promoting the aircraft manufacturing industry in the developing world. Indonesia’s commitment to international civil aviation --- Commitments to aviation safety Indonesia is committed to implementing a National Aviation Safety Plan (NASP) that incorporates ICAO’s Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP) and the Regional Aviation Safety Plan (RASP) to strengthen its State Safety Programme in the overall aviation system.

In 2017, an ICAO Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (USOAP) Continuous Monitoring Approach (CMA) audit was conducted on Indonesia. The ICAO Coordinated Validation Mission (ICVM) for this audit awarded Indonesia an effective implementation (EI) measure of 80.14 per cent, which exceeded the GASP 2020-2022 target. A Council President Certificate (CPC) was awarded to recognize this achievement.

Slide Air traffic management (ATM) Indonesia established a single air navigation service provider to separate regulatory and operational functions to enhance its safety and efficiency. Prior to the pandemic, Indonesia provided air navigation services within two Flight Information Regions (Jakarta FIR and Ujung Pandang FIR) for 10,000 daily air traffic movements. International traffic movements that cross through Indonesian airspace have contributed to the efficiency of flights in South East Asia, which is considered one of the most complex air traffic environments in the world. In addition to this:

• Indonesia participated in the Distributed Multi-Nodal ATFM Network Project as Node Level 2 on August 2015 which involved three airports (Soekarno-Hatta Airport of Jakarta, Juanda Airport of Surabaya, and I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport of Denpasar) ensuring the compliance of the tactical ATFM measures to disseminate by Node Level 3 during the periods of constraints;
• Indonesia implemented a collaborative decision-making mechanism and information model to manage and to mitigate volcanic eruptions to ensure safe flight operations. Any State can adopt this Integrated Web-based Information System (I-WISH) to monitor volcanic ash movements.
• Indonesia is in compliance with the Seamless ANS Plan in the Asia Pasific Region, including its ATM performance framework within 11 key performance elements in civil military cooperation by implementing the Flexible Use of Airspace (FUA) 2nd is currently in the progress of implementing the Advanced Flexible Use of Airspace (AFUA).

Slide Capacity building With the current COVID-19 situation, virtual reality training technologies have become increasingly relevant. Through its use of virtual reality technology, Indonesia is committed to carrying out a digital transformation using the latest innovative technologies in daily operational activities. In order to display certain observable behaviors and demonstrate the achievement of performance criteria, aviation professionals call on relevant knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSA) appropriate to a specific role and context. This ability varies depending on the level of experience and expertise of aviation professionals.

To ensure a competent workforce delivers a safe and efficient air transportation system, Indonesia carries out competency-based training and assessments. All aviation personnel must undergo comprehensive technical training that provides the required knowledge and skillsets. Indonesia’s aim is to become a Training Center of Excellence (TCE) in the Asia Pacific Region by 2021.
The Government of Indonesia places great emphasis on human resources training in its civil aviation national training programme. The DGCA Indonesia provides mandatory and supplementary training for its inspectors and officers in accordance with ICAO guidance and international and national standards. Indonesia offers training fellowships to participants every year and participates in the ICAO Developing Countries Training Programme annually, which includes the Training Manager, State Safety Programme, Aerodrome Certification, Airport Planning, Aircraft Accident Investigation, Airspace Management, Safety Management System, Ramp Safety Awareness, and Flight Operation Inspector courses. Moving forward, Indonesia hopes to contribute to ICAO technical and non-technical programmes.

The required specialized aviation training is provided by 157 lecturers from seven training institutes (PPI Curug, POLTEKBANG Surabaya, POLTEKBANG Makassar, POLTEKBANG Medan, POLTEKBANG Jayapura, API Banyuwangi and BP3 Curug). They deliver specific approved training programmes to aviation personnel for licensing purposes. The many other training areas provided include management, financial management, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer and network engineering, aerospace engineering, air transportation, rescue and firefighting, search and rescue, aviation maintenance/airworthiness, air traffic control, air traffic management, airport management and other relevant technical subjects.
Aircraft manufacturing With its unique geography and accessibility challenges, Indonesia recognized the value of seaplane operations in improving safety and supporting a strong civil aviation sector that can promote and sustain social and economic progress through, as one example, responsible tourism, which is one of the major economic drivers.
