#10 – Susi Air

[quads id=1]

The safety of these airlines is affected by several factors, such as communication issues with air traffic control, lack of cooperation from local tribes, weather, and extreme terrain. Susi Air operates throughout Indonesia’s islands since 2004.

Surprisingly, most of their pilots are youngsters from Western countries who want to clock up their flying hours. This airline had actually been prohibited from flying into the European Union, but that’s not the only ban Susi Air got.

Due to the extreme casualties and crashes, US Embassy personnel are restricted from traveling on this carrier. Moreover, the nature of the plane doesn’t allow any other flight staff, only pilots. Thus, Susi air is not to be expected to move beyond the 2-star safety rating at AirlineRatings.com.

#9 – Merpati Airlines

Merpati Airlines is currently a major domestic airline operating throughout more than 25 destinations in Indonesia, Malaysia, and East Timor. Historically, Merpati has gone through a huge financial chaos that it has stopped flying in 2015.

The airline’s safety record for the previous 10 years registered more than 50 casualties and more than 6 severe incidents, therefore, for obvious safety concerns, Merpati was restricted from traveling European skies.

Furthermore, the airline has frozen operations, angry employees, and unpaid fuel bills, but still, all of these weaknesses didn’t stop Merpati airlines from showing interest in getting their IATA Operational Safety Audit.
