UNCLAS JAKARTA 003237 SIPDIS SIPDIS DEPT FOR EAP/IET, PM/DTCC/BLUE LANTERN COORDINATOR - TIM WATKINS E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: KOMC ETTC ECON ID SN SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3 - PRE-LICENSE END-USE CHECK ON APPLICATION 050063827 REF: SECSTATE 00132975 ¶1. Embassy contacted Indonesian Air Force (IAF) Aircraft Combat Division Lieutenant Colonel Udin Wahyudin on November 6 to verify reftel transaction. Wahyudin claimed that his office has never dealt directly with the foreign party, Singapore Falcon International Aviation (Falcon). The majority of IAF supply transactions utilize an Indonesian based company, which in turn contracts with foreign suppliers. Wahyudin said it was possible that Falcon purchased parts on behalf of an Indonesian firm that is a registered IAF supplier. ¶2. On November 16, Wahyudin told us IAF ordered some F5 spare parts through direct commercial sales, including AWP Engine J-85 type. However, IAF did not/not request the Stage 1 Turbine Blade detailed in reftel due to adequate stocks for fiscal year 2006/2007. Wahyudin also said the local agent for Falcon is PT Bersari and that IAF has not/not placed the supply order with the company as detailed in reftel. HUME
