Meanwhile, to ensure safe and comfortable flights, the airline is following a standard operating procedure (SOP) in the form of a pre-flight checklist, Setiaputra informed.
"We have what is called a checklist. If this is not met, there will be an action plan for collective safety and comfort," he said.
Earlier, the government asked airplane operators and airlines not to raise ticket fares on their own for this year's Eid homecoming.
"There is an important matter that we want to convey to operators: Please don't raise the tariff on your own," Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi said.
The minister underlined that the government has set an upper limit on ticket prices for transportation that will need to be complied with. He warned that operators violating the upper limit will invite stringent penalties.
