Airport Security Under Fire After Plane Hits Motorcycle

Aviation investigators have started looking into a runway accident that killed 
two people on Monday after an aircraft collided with a motorcycle at an 
airfield in Tangerang. 

National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) spokesman JA Barata said a team 
of five investigators had been sent to Curug, Tangerang, on the outskirts of 
Jakarta, where two people on a motor­cycle were killed when they were hit by a 
training plane coming in to land at Budiarto Airport. 

"We've sent a team to the scene, headed by lead investigator Toos Sanityoso," 
he said. "This is a serious accident." 

Two men, identified as Azumar, 24, and Yopie Hermawan, 16, a student at Bhakti 
Vocational Senior High School, were killed on impact at about 8:30 a.m. after 
illegally entering the grounds of the airport, used by the Indonesian Aviation 
Institute (STPI), in an apparent attempt to take a shortcut across the runway. 

Coincidentally, the men crossed the runway at the same time a single-engine 
Socata TB-10 Tobago training aircraft was landing. The two people aboard the 
plane were also seriously injured in the accident. They were taken to Siloam 
Hospital in Karawaci for treatment after the unusual accident. 

"It's illegal for motorcycles to be on the runway," said STPI chairman Darwis 
Amini. 

He added that management of Budiarto Airport was not the responsibility of the 
flight school, and lambasted the lax security measures that had failed to keep 
unauthorized people out of the restricted zone. 

Ministry of Transportation spokesman Bambang Ervan said it was not unusual for 
motor­cyclists to use the runway as a shortcut, despite it being illegal. 

"There are wire fences and gutters installed all around the airport," he said, 
"but people still manage to find ways to break in." 

He said the airport's operator, working under the auspices of the ministry, was 
unable to maintain around-the-clock monitoring of every airport in the country. 

"Tight monitoring 24 hours a day, day in and day out, is impossible," he said. 
"There's just not enough people to carry it out." 

Danang Parikesit, chairman of the Indonesian Transportation Society (MTI), an 
industry watchdog, called the accident "an indication of poor airport 
security." 

He said all airports must strictly enforce their no-trespass zones, even if 
they only served as training airports. 

"While universal transportation safety would be ideal, airports are expected to 
have much higher security standards than other transportation hubs," Da­nang 
said, adding that the airport operator must be held responsible for Monday's 
breach. 

He called on the Transportation Ministry to re-evaluate its policies on airport 
security, saying that the accident should never have happened.
