JAKARTA, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) -- Indonesian Transport Ministry has taken a stern action against an airliner violating rules by boosting supervision on the implementation of safety standard and requiring operators to raise the skill of pilots following rampant sea and air accidents that killed dozens of people and injured more than one hundreds others.

"We suspend the AOC (Air Operator Certificate) of PT NBA today (Tuesday) in a bid to prevent a similar accident to happen in the future," Bambang said. The plane crash in a forest of Bahorok in North Sumatra last Thursday has brought the total air accident to four in September. The suspension was made days after the transport Minister Freddy Numberi had warned to lift licenses of sea operator ignoring safety standard during operation. "We will give them a warning, telling them that they must boost safety. Should they keep ignoring it by three times, we will lift their business license," said Freddy. The warning was made after a fire in a ship docking in the sea port in East Java on September 27 that killed eight people and wounded more than one hundred others, the accident has put the total sea accidents to six in the month. Minister Numberi said that inspection would be intensified and stepped up to find out how serious of the air and sea operators in implementing the safety standard. For airliners serving transport passing over mountainous area, the number of skillful pilots should be increased, he said.
