The Minister of Transportation, Jusman Syafei Djamal, has guaranteed that Indonesian airlines are safe from terrorists. Jusman made the statement on Tuesday, following police findings that a terror suspect who is still at large had worked for the national airline Garuda Indonesia while planning a bigger act of terror than July’s twin bombings at two Jakarta hotels. Jusman told Metro TV that to make sure the airport area is safe from terrorists, the Ministry of Transportation had formed a joint operation with the military and the police to increase the airport’s security system. Supervision is applied to both the passengers and airlines crew. Tight security measures are also applied at the cargo area, he said.
