Pramesti remarked here on Wednesday.
Pramesti explained that service operations in the realignment area of FIR Jakarta will be conducted by the Jakarta Air Traffic Services Center (JATSC) and AirNav Indonesia's branch in Tanjung Pinang, Riau Islands.
JATSC will serve the air space at altitudes of between 24,500 to 60,000 feet, while its branch in Tanjung Pinang will serve the ground altitude up to 24,500 feet, according to Pramesti.

Pramesti noted that AirNav Indonesia had readied a monopulse secondary surveillance radar in Tanjung Pinang, Natuna and Pontianak; an ADS-B (automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast) receiver, VHF Radio, and VHF extended rage in Matak and Natuna; ATC system in Tanjung Pinang; and ATC simulator and computer-based training (CBT) to enhance the performance of AirNav Indonesia's ATC personnel.
