Chief Executive of Lion Air Group, Edward Sirait, talks to the media after a news conference, following the crash of Lion Air's plane, flight JT610, at the company's operation center near Jakarta, Indonesia, October 29, 2018.
Indonesia's transport minister removed on Wednesday the technical director of the Lion Air airline and several of its technicians after the crash of one of its jets with 189 people on board, the Antara news agency reported on Wednesday.
"Today we dismiss (the director) from his position and his duty," Budi Karya Sumadi said, citing the accident on Monday as the reason. He said technicians were also dismissed.
It was not clear whether the removal was permanent or temporary.
Lion Air's chief executive, Edward Sirait, told reporters he had not heard of the minister's order.
