The announcement reverses a December 23, 2005, declaration by the TSA stating the Bali airport fell below minimum safety standards that resulted in cautionary warnings posted at major airports across the U.S.
In announcing the recertification of Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport by the TCA, the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta praised efforts by Bali over the past two years to improve security standards at the airport.
“I am very happy to inform Mr. Jusman Syafii Djamal, Indonesia’s Minister of Transportation, that our government have acknowledged that Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport has met international safety standards,” said the Deputy Chief of Mission for the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, John Hefferen.
“This is very good new for Indonesia as it prepares to host the United Nations COP-13 Climate Change Conference in Bali this December,” he was quoted saying in Bali Update (www.balidiscovery.com)
The Department of Homeland Security has now issued instructions to all airports across the U.S. to remove all written notices cautioning against travel to Bali’s airport.
