Privately-owned carrier Sky Aviation has requested that its operational suspension be extended to April 30, the Transportation Ministry said.

Previously, the carrier had asked for a temporary suspension until the end of March after it had stopped its service on March 19.

The ministry's air transportation director Djoko Murjatmodjo said that an official government letter had been issued on Wednesday after it had received the request from Sky Aviation.

"However, we are going to calculate their extension because it can only be done once. After that, we will revoke their route permit," Djoko said on Thursday as quoted by Tribunnews.com.

He said that Sky Aviation had requested another extension so it could carry out due-diligence processes with its new investors.

Separately, the Indonesian National Air Carriers Association (INACA) secretary-general Tengku Burhanuddin said that securing new investors was no easy task.

"The process will take a long time. We hope that they are serious about continuing to fly," Tengku said.

He said two investors were interested in the airline. However, the management remained tightlipped over the information. (nfo/nvn)
