However , Indonesia is not a participant of the International Air Services Transit Agreement ( IASTA ) , therefore both Indonesian airspace and airports are closed for foreign commercial airlines ' freedoms of the air , unless there were bilateral transit agreements negotiated with other countries . Indonesia and Australia for example , signed a bilateral agreement relating to air service on 7 February 2013 . According to this agreement , each nations grants to the other party the right to fly across its territory without landing , and the right to make stops in its territory for non @-@ traffic purposes ( 1st and 2nd freedom ) , and the rights for designated airlines to operate services .

 Long flights over water may occasionally be undertaken . A young white stork ringed at the nest in Denmark subsequently appeared in England , where it spent some days before moving on . It was later seen flying over St Mary 's , Isles of Scilly , and arrived in a poor condition in Madeira three days later . That island is 500 km ( 320 mi ) from Africa , and twice as far from the European mainland . Migration through the Middle East may be hampered by the khamsin , winds bringing gusty overcast days unsuitable for flying . In these situations , flocks of white storks sit out the adverse weather on the ground , standing and facing into the wind .
