Indonesian Ministry of Transport: "If we open for the LCCs, we are afraid that passengers will shift from our airlines to foreign airlines. If they shift, our airlines will collapse…We are not reviewing our policies on foreign LCCs with regard to the four major cities [Denpasar, Surabaya, Medan or Jakarta].
