Abstract
General Background: The delegation of Indonesia's Flight Information Region (FIR) over the Riau Islands and Natuna to Singapore has raised concerns about national sovereignty and international law. Specific Background: The Chicago Convention asserts that countries have complete sovereignty over their airspace, but Indonesia’s FIR management by Singapore challenges this principle. Knowledge Gap: The potential risks to sovereignty and security arising from this delegation have not been fully addressed. Aims: This study analyzes the implications of FIR delegation on Indonesia’s sovereignty and security, proposing steps for regaining control. Results: The study finds that Singapore's role is administrative, not a transfer of sovereignty, though it creates security risks. Novelty: The analysis offers new insights into the legal and strategic implications of FIR management. Implications: Recommendations focus on modernizing air navigation infrastructure and strengthening Indonesia's sovereignty.
Highlights:
- Delegation of FIR to Singapore raises concerns over Indonesia's airspace sovereignty.
- The Chicago Convention ensures full sovereignty over airspace, yet the delegation remains an administrative issue.
- Regaining FIR control is crucial for Indonesia's national security and strategic interests.
Keywords: FIR, Air Sovereignty, International Law, Security
