"Once again, I thank you for this compensation, and it will be resolved immediately for all victims and passengers," he stated.
The head of state again expressed his deep condolences to the families of the victims of the Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 plane that crashed in the waters around Pulau Seribu District, Jakarta, on January 9, 2021, killing 62 people aboard the Boeing 737-500.
