History
The Transportation Ministry in February 2007 delayed license revocation of 11 idle airlines, including PT Jatayu Gelang Sejahtera, to give restructuring opportunities to the operators. The airline has re-applied for licences.
In March 2007 the Indonesian transport ministry, under huge political pressure to improve air safety in Indonesia, warned it will close seven airlines unless they improve training and maintenance within the next three months. The ministry developed a formula for ranking the airlines in three bands. Those in the third (least safe) band are: Adam Air, Batavia Air, Jatayu Airlines, Kartika Airlines, Manunggal Air Services, Transwisata Prima Aviation and Tri-MG Intra Asia Airlines.
