The opening of the Indonesia-Singapore Search and Rescue Exercise in Natuna, Riau Islands

On November 28-29, 2024, Indonesia and Singapore conducted a joint Search and Rescue (SAR) exercise to bolster readiness for aviation accidents in the border area of Natuna District, Riau Islands. The event, known as Sarex Indopura XXXIX/24, was conducted virtually and brought together key stakeholders from both nations. Mr Andriansyah, Young Expert Policy Analyst for the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas), emphasized the importance of this collaboration in improving the understanding and skills of personnel involved in aviation emergency response. Participating Indonesian agencies included the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas), led by its esteemed representatives; the Indonesian Defense Forces (TNI), represented by its honorable members; the National Police (Polri), with its esteemed officers; AirNav Indonesia, with distinguished representatives; the Meteorological, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency (BMKG), with respected officials; the Indonesian Coast Guard (Bakamla), with its esteemed members; as well as representatives from the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, and local governments.

The exercise simulated a disaster scenario in the Natuna region, an area of heightened importance since Indonesia officially assumed control of the Flight Information Region (FIR) over its airspace on March 21, 2024, previously managed by Singapore. Mr Andriansyah noted that this realignment marked a significant step in maintaining Indonesia’s sovereignty and enhancing flight safety in the region.
