Indonesia’s Ministry of Transport (MOT) plans to be more stringent about allowing the country’s airlines to hire foreign pilots in the wake of the recent Lion Air Boeing 737 Max 8 crash. According to Robi Ihsan, a senior official at MOT in Jakarta, the authority will review the current hiring process for foreign pilots and requirements of each airline. He said the criteria will have to be enhanced depending on the aircraft type, though concrete details about the criteria under consideration are not yet available.
