Connectivity throughout ASEAN Following the Establishment of the ASEAN Single Aviation Market (ASAM)

The establishment of the ASEAN Single Aviation Market (ASAM) by ASEAN is aimed at promoting connectivity and liberalization of the single aviation market in ASEAN. The restrictions imposed by Indonesia imply on the policy of ASAM in increasing the connectivity of air services. This paper examines the implications of the ASAM restriction policy on civil aviation in Indonesia. This writing uses a juris-normative approach. The success of ASAM in facilitating air connectivity between ASEAN member states should be enhanced through a careful and informed approach through comprehensive and collaborative adjustments among ASEAN members. This adjustment can be a very valuable part in evaluating the impact of ASAM implementation on each ASEAN Member State, identifying potential barriers, and formulating more effective strategies to enhance connectiveness in the region.
