The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has called on Indonesia's stakeholders to partner in the development of an aviation masterplan based on global standards to ensure that the country is served by an aviation industry performing at its best.

IATA identified three potential elements to be addressed in the masterplan: improving safety, ensuring capacity and a smart regulation framework.
 
"Indonesia's aviation potential is huge. By 2034, it is expected to be the sixth largest market for air travel. By then some 270 million passengers are expected to fly to, from and within the country. That's three times the size of today's market. There is a big role for collective leadership among industry partners including the government to make the aviation sector flourish. Indonesia needs an aviation masterplan based on global standards and developed in partnership by aviation stakeholders including the government. Such a plan should set a common vision for addressing top priorities such as safety, capacity and regulation. And of course it must be followed by real actions," said Tony Tyler, Director General and CEO, IATA.
