Lion Air Has Made Indonesian Proud

I used to have a very bad impression toward Lion Air, all the delay and inconvenience associated with it. But not anymore....

For the past two days, one of the Indonesian student forum was discussing cheap airfare from Singapore to Jakarta and of course we mentioned Lion Air, the largest budget carrier in South East Asia. Lion Air transporting more than million passengers yearly.
While aircraft and airline industry in Indonesia wasn't their best for the past few years: Accidents, the closure of Adam Air, banning of Indonesian airlines from landing in EU, and lastly downsizing of PT Dirgantara Indonesia, Indonesia's own aircraft manufacturing company. LION AIR HAS MADE INDONESIA PROUD as launching partner of Boeing 737-900ER, the newest series of single aisle passenger plane. Lion has ordered 60 planes to be deployed in connecting Jakarta, capital of Indonesia with various other big cities in the region.
What I'll say is.... WELL DONE LION AIR!!!.... what a great relief after so many unfortunate events.... More info click here

Great achievement for Lion Air. However, Lion Air (and INDO aviation industry in general) still have long way to go, especially to build up its reputation.
