ransportation Minister Ignasius Jonan says that his institution will immediately and thoroughly review the operations of AirAsia Indonesia after one of its Airbus A320-200 jets carrying 162 people went missing on Sunday morning.
"We will review the entire operations of AirAsia Indonesia to make sure its performance can be better in the future," Jonan told the press at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Cengkareng, Banten, west of Jakarta, on Monday.
