Based on this background, the statements of problems are: 1). What is the position of the Indonesian Aviation Navigation Service Provider and Aviation Safety Supervisory Board in realizing aviation safety? And 2) What is the Authority of the Regional Government regarding the policy and regulations of spatial arrangements to realize the safety of aviation?
