TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta: Air Marshal Imam Supaat, Operational Commander of the Indonesian Military (TNI) Air Force, has said a team has been formed to investigate the crash of a Fokker 27 airplane.
The airplane crashed at Bandung’s Hussein Sastranegara airport, West Java, killing 24 people.
Imam went on to say that the investigation team consisted of engineering and military experts.
He could not guarantee when the results of the investigation would be announced.
However, Imam has predicted that it will not take a long time as there were many witnesses to the accident.
Based on voice recordings, the last instruction from the airport tower said that the plane should go around.
“This meant that the plane was unable to land,” said Imam after leading the funeral ceremony for five of the victims of the Fokker 27 at the Kalibata Heroes' Cemetery, on Tuesday (7/4).
He said he suspected that the critical moment occurred while the plane was going around as its speed was not high.
However, the cause of the accident still needs more examination.
