BBN Airlines Indonesia, a subsidiary of Avia Solutions Group, is set to bolster its position in the Indonesian aviation sector with the addition of three Boeing 737-800 fleets and one Boeing 737-400F fleet.
BBN Airlines Indonesia, a subsidiary of Avia Solutions Group, the world’s largest Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance (ACMI) provider, is set to bolster its position in the Indonesian aviation sector with the addition of three Boeing 737-800 fleets and one Boeing 737-400F fleet. This strategic move is aimed at enhancing the airline’s charter flight services in Indonesia, catering to the growing demand in the region. The acquisition of these four fleets was successfully completed in November 2023. Presently, the fleets are undergoing meticulous maintenance checks, and they are anticipated to be ready for service in early March 2024. BBN Airlines Indonesia plans to deploy these aircraft for unscheduled passenger charter flights, covering both domestic and international routes.
The strategic move aligns with BBN Airlines Indonesia’s focus on unscheduled passenger charter flights and air cargo transportation services. The airline aims to address the rising demand for both domestic and international flights by expanding its fleet further. This expansion is part of the broader strategic plan of Avia Solutions Group, the parent company, which is making substantial investments in the Asia-Pacific region.
Martynas Grigas, Chairman, BBN Airlines Indonesia said, “With the inclusion of these fleets, we are very confident that we can increase the number of load factors and also be able to open new routes in the future. By early 2024, BBN Airlines Indonesia already has six aircraft in total, and the addition of these fleets is a significant step in developing our fleet to meet the demands of the growing market. This additional fleet will also support BBN Airlines Indonesia’s strategic plan to be able to operate a total of 40 aircraft by the end of 2027. We are optimistic that the mission carried out by BBN Airlines Indonesia can strengthen the Indonesian aviation sector as a whole, both on a domestic and international market scale.”
BBN Airlines Indonesia’s emphasis on cargo services was highlighted when it obtained an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) for cargo services in August 2023. Since then, the airline has garnered significant trust from various stakeholders, including collaborations with the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for transporting materials to support the rehabilitation of Port Vila International Airport in Vanuatu. The Ministry of Health Republic Indonesia has also partnered with BBN Airlines Indonesia for the delivery of Rotavirus Vaccine (ROTAVAC) from India and other humanitarian aid missions.
The airline’s commitment to its strategic plan and mission is evident in its ambitious target to operate a fleet of 40 aircraft by 2027. BBN Airlines Indonesia believes that the expanded fleet will not only cater to the increasing demand for air travel in Indonesia but will also contribute to the growth and development of the broader aviation sector in the region.
