Mavcom executive chairman Nungsari A. Radhi has confirmed news reports that the Transport Ministry planned to go ahead with the merger, but expressed his disappointment that the civil aviation economic and commercial regulator was not consulted beforehand. “All those notwithstanding, the decision by the government to repeal the Mavcom Act is a decision that there is no need for an independent economic regulator for the aviation industry that looks into commercial licensing, competition matters as well as consumer welfare and public service obligations; functions that did not exist before Mavcom was set up,” Nungsari said in a statement today.

Nungsari said his current focus is on two things: the welfare of his staff and to hand over Mavcom’s statutory role in a responsible manner.
