AirAsia Indonesia says it committed '€œadministrative negligence'€ when requesting a change in its Surabaya-Singapore flight schedule, adding that the firm had only verbally informed the Transportation Ministry about operating the route on Sundays.

Speaking on Tuesday regarding the AirAsia incident at the first hearing with House of Representatives Commission V on transportation, AirAsia president director Sunu Widyatmoko said based on the flight permit issued by the ministry, the airline was allowed to fly four days a week on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Your comments:

It sounds to me like AirAsia is being bullied into taking responsibility. As if an unauthorized flight taking off is not primarily the responsibility of the airport that allowed it.

Who gave a green light to AirAsia for taking off on that tragic Sunday? Or is Surabaya International Airport managed like a bus station?

I would also like to hear from AirAsia about the outcome of the tests of its pilots at the airport in Bali. Is it true or not that the tests came out positive?
