Indonesian Military (TNI) chief Gen. Djoko Santoso said TNI would
complete its evaluation of its air transport system and aircraft
fleets on July 30.
“Let's just wait for [for the results of the evaluation]. [We] can not make any assumptions over this,” he said, as quoted by
tempointeraktif.com in Bandung, West Java, on Tuesday.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has ordered TNI to make the evaluation following a series of crashes involving military transport. Seven military aircraft have crashed so far this year, killing 83 military officers.
Djoko said the evaluation, which will cover maintenance, personnel, management and budget, was being carried out by the TNI Inspectorate General and the Defense Ministry. (dre)
