Merpati Nusantara Airlines

It is a major domestic airline operating scheduled services to more than 25 destinations in Indonesia, as well as scheduled international services to East Timor and Malaysia. Its main base is Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Jakarta.

Merpati Nusantara Airlines

History

The airline was established and started operations on 6 September 1962. It was set up by the Indonesian government as the second state airline, with the main objective of taking over the network of domestic services developed by the Air Force since 1958. During 1962, it also took over the routes previously operated by KLM subsidiary, De Kroonduif, which had been flown by Garuda since 1962. In October 1978, the airline was taken over by Garuda, but continued to operate under its own name. Merpati was integrated into the Garuda Indonesia Group in September 1989, but was granted government permission to separate in 1993, although the split did not actually take place until April 1997. It is owned by the Indonesian Government (93.2%) and Garuda Indonesia (6.8%). Because of heavy weaknesses in its security Merpati Nusantara Airlines as well as all other Indonesian airlines have been put on the List of air carriers banned in the European Union, so that for all planes landing on airports in the European Union is prohibited.

It has a Maintenance Facility based at Juanda International Airport, Surabaya.
