Late last year, Indonesian budget airline Lion Air purchased $22.4 billion worth of brand new Boeing 737s, including the upcoming 737 MAX.
Well, they're at it again.
According to a report on NYC Aviation, Lion Air is purchasing the Boeing 787 Dreamliner on a new subsidiary airline, Batik Air.
The initial order is for an undisclosed number of Boeing's latest plane. NYC Aviation says that the hub will be in Jakarta and flights will go to South Asia, East Asia, and Australia. Lion Air is opening Batik as a competitor to Indonesia's state owned airline, Garuda Indonesia.
Lion Air is famous for being banned from EU airspace due to a number of safety concerns. many accidents happened in recent year before they modernize their fleet
The order has been placed, but not finalized. Batik will start flying next year with 10 737s, and will add the 787s once they are built. There is a backlog of orders right now, so it could be a few years before they enter the fleet.
well...it's only from lion.... ;D
Seems now Soekarno hatta like Pulo Gadung terminal....
how about garuda ?
upcoming aircraft :
- 777 300 to replace 747 to expand for Europe and US
- bombardier C1000 to replace old 737
- A320 for citilink (will spin off later from garuda to create own management)
- Turboprop for regional
Sriwijaya ?
- Embraer 190
Sky aviation ?
- Sukhoi superjet
Tiger Mandala ?
- A320
Pacific Royale ?

and many more like batavia, air asia and many small local airline like express, trigana, etc to expand their existing fleet number...
and will be worst than terminal pulogadung if the airport can not expand earlier
Late last year, Indonesian budget airline Lion Air purchased $22.4 billion worth of brand new Boeing 737s, including the upcoming 737 MAX.
Late in 2011, Boeing sold approximately $19 billion worth of new planes to Southwest Airlines in what was deemed the largest sale in the company's history.
But now Southwest's huge investment has been eclipsed by an airline on the other side of the world.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Boeing just sold 201 of the 737MAX and 29 of the 737-900 to Lion Air, the largest private airline in Indonesia.
The price tag for all of these new planes comes to a stratospheric $22.4 billion. Lion Air will be paying for these planes over the course of 12 years, with the aid of financing.
The airline last made headlines for some decidedly negative news. The Wall Street Journal reports that in 2004, one of Lion Air's MD-82s crashed, killing 25 of the passengers that were on board. In addition to this fatal incident, there have also been other crash landings that have caused damage to planes and injuries to passengers.
In 2007, the airline was banned from flying into the European Union due to safety concerns.
And finally, three of its pilots have been arrested since September of last year due to alleged illegal drug use.
Hopefully, the new planes will be a good step on the way to fixing Lion Air's tarnished reputation

According to a report on NYC Aviation, Lion Air is purchasing the Boeing 787 Dreamliner on a new subsidiary airline, Batik Air.
The initial order is for an undisclosed number of Boeing's latest plane. NYC Aviation says that the hub will be in Jakarta and flights will go to South Asia, East Asia, and Australia. Lion Air is opening Batik as a competitor to Indonesia's state owned airline, Garuda Indonesia.
Indonesian low-cost carrier Lion Air has committed to buying an undisclosed number of five Boeing 787 Dreamliners to be used by Lion’s new full-service carrier Batik Air, the airframer announced on Friday.
Once finalized, the deal will have a list-price value of just under $1 billion.
First revealed less than three weeks ago, Batik is set takeoff in 2013 using 10 Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Routes will link a Jakarta hub to South Asia, East Asia and Australia.
Lion Air, Indonesia’s largest privately-owned airline, is racing to fulfill exploding air travel demand in Indonesia which, for example, grew nearly 15 percent just in the first quarter of this year compared to 2011. Lion made waves in 2011 when it placed a record shattering order for 380 Boeing 737 aircraft. With Batik, Lion seeks to take on government-owned Garuda Indonesia, the country’s leading full-service, long-haul carrier.
An expected delivery date for the new 787 aircraft will likely not be announced until the order is finalized, but based on the current 787 backlog, it will likely take several years for the first Batik Dreamliner to take to the skies.
