Update: in fact, it seems that AirAsia Indonesia route permit for Surabaya to Singapore has been frozen or revoked by the Indonesian government. Quite a difference!sn26567 wrote:AirAsia has decided to suspend its Surabaya-Singapore route effective 4 January 2015, in the aftermath of the A320 crash, according to Airline Route.

Re: AirAsia Indonesia flight QZ8501 missing
The transport ministry said that AirAsia flight QZ8501 that went missing last Sunday was flying on an unauthorised schedule. The flight time had not been cleared by officials, said director-general of air transport Djoko Murjatmodjo.sn26567 wrote:in fact, it seems that AirAsia Indonesia route permit for Surabaya to Singapore has been frozen or revoked by the Indonesian government.
"It violated the route permit given, the schedule given, that's the problem," he told AFP. "AirAsia's permit for the route has been frozen because it violated the route permit given."

Re: AirAsia Indonesia flight QZ8501 missing
The tail of the A320 has been located in the Java Sea, eleven days after the beginning of the search & rescue operations. This is very important, because the black boxes are in the tail and this might shed light on why the aircraft has crashed. Bad weather has hampered the search for a long time.
