Vice President Ma’ruf Amin has called for better safeguards for civilian flights into Papua after the recent abduction of a New Zealand pilot by rebel fighters, as a joint security team continues its search in the mountainous jungle region beset by conflict.
The torching of an airplane operated by frontier airline Susi Air and the abduction of its foreign pilot in Nduga regency earlier this week exposed yet another problem, the Vice President suggested on Friday, as he called for security to be tightened around air travel infrastructure in Papua.
“An aircraft that has landed can only be set on fire if there is not enough security. There should have been some security attendance,” Ma’ruf said during a visit to Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, as quoted by state news agency Antara.
