Abstract
The 2022 FIR Realignment Agreement between Indonesia and Singapore redefined the delegation of airspace management over the Natuna and Riau Islands. This study investigates Indonesia’s legal responsibilities in providing air traffic services prior to the realignment and evaluates the country’s readiness to implement the provisions of the agreement. Employing a normative legal research method, the study draws upon primary sources such as international treaties and national aviation laws, complemented by scholarly literature on air law. The findings suggest that the provision of air traffic services is a sovereign function, and the delegation to another country is permissible only for technical or operational reasons. The signing of the 2022 FIR Realignment demonstrates Indonesia’s preparedness and sovereign capability to manage its airspace in accordance with international standards. As a manifestation of this commitment, the agreement has been ratified through Presidential Regulation No. 109 of 2022.
