Indonesia's National Transport Safety Committee (NTSC) says budget airline Lion Air should immediately introduce a number of safety measures when it comes to landing procedures.
It also says the airline must ensure its pilots are properly trained, after a preliminary investigation into last month's Boeing 737 crash in Bali.
All 108 passengers and crew survived when the passenger jet undershot the tourist island's main airport runway and landed in the water.
The preliminary report says a young, second-in-command pilot was at the controls at a "critical time".
While the report did not give an exact cause of the crash, it ruled out any major problems with the new Boeing 737-800 passenger jet.
Weather reports indicated that there was a sudden loss of visibility in the area, it said, adding the second-in-command pilot was in charge seconds before the plane crashed into the sea just before the runway.
The 24-year-old, who had 1,200 hours of flying experience, was in control during the descent into the airport and reported that he could not see the runway 900 feet above ground.
The captain then switched off the auto-pilot and the second-in-command handed over controls to him at around 45 metres - or one minute and six seconds before the crash - after repeating that he could not see the runway.
One second before the crash, the pilot commanded a "go-around" and attempted to abort the landing, but it was too late.
