The pilot, who reportedly works for Citilink, also spoke confusedly before flying from Jakarta to Surabaya on Wednesday, December 28, 2016. Citilink spokesperson Benny S. Butarbutar said that the video could not be used as a credible evidence to make a policy. "The most important thing is the Citilink Management has taken an assertive actions related to the incident on December 28 and replace the pilot with another one," Benny told Tempo on Thursday, December 29, 2016. Benny had also dismissed the report saying that the pilot was drunk. Benny explained that the pilot was late for a flight and caused a 65-minute delay. Benny explained that the flight to Surabaya went well after the management replaced the pilot. Benny added that the pilot had been taken to the airport’s clinic for an alcohol test, which showed negative results. In the video, the pilot showed unusual gestures. He walked into the airport wearing sunglasses and was out of balance. From the entrance, the pilot continuously dropped his belongings A Citilink pilot was removed from duty on Wednesday after passengers claimed he was incoherent in a flight announcement he made before takeoff. One of the passengers voiced suspicion that the pilot may have been intoxicated. “Around 15 minutes before the scheduled departure, the pilot spoke random words in his flight announcement. I suspect that he was drunk as he kept mumbling and shouting,” Ketut Buda, who was booked on the Citilink flight from Juanda International Airport in Surabaya, East Java, to Soekarno Hatta International Airport in Jakarta on Wednesday morning, told a local radio station. Ketut said most of the passengers decided to disembark in a show of protest. They also asked the airline to replace the pilot in question. Citilink, the low-cost subsidiary of national flag carrier Garuda Indonesia, said later in the day that the pilot, identified as Capt. Tekad Purna, would be investigated after the incident. The Citilink flight was scheduled to take off at 5:15 a.m. After the incident, Citilink replace the pilot and the flight departed an hour behind schedule with 154 passengers on board.
