Lion Air is an Indonesian airline based in Jakarta and based at Soekarno-Hatta Airport .
history
Lion Air (owner PT Lion Mentari Airlines ), was founded in 1999 and started operations on October 30, 2000 with a flight from Jakarta to Pontianak . In 2005 the company was the first customer of the Boeing 737-900ER with a large order ; the first aircraft was handed over on April 27, 2007.
In July 2007 all Indonesian airlines were placed on the list of operating bans for the airspace of the European Union . Lion Air was blacklisted on June 16, 2016.
On November 18, 2011, Lion Air boss Kirana signed a record order for 230 aircraft valued at 21.7 billion euros with Boeing boss Conner in Bali in the presence of US President Barack Obama .
On the Singapore Air Show in February 2012 ordered Lion Air 201 Boeing 737 worth of 22.4 billion US dollars . The subsidiary Wings Abadi Airlines also ordered 20 ATR 72-500 and 40 ATR 72-600.
In March 2013, Lion Air ordered more than 200 medium-haul aircraft from the Airbus A320 family . The contract was signed on March 18, 2013 at the Élysée Palace , where President François Hollande received the bosses of the EADS subsidiary and Lion Air. In fact, 234 medium-haul jets have now been ordered from Airbus. The order includes 109 of the new, economical Airbus A320neo, 65 A321neo and 60 A320-200. According to list prices, the order has a volume of around 18.5 billion euros .
In November 2014, the Lion Group increased the ATR 72-600 order for Wings Abadi Airlines by 40 to a total of 100 aircraft of this type. This makes it ATR's largest customer .
Lion Air owns 49% of the joint venture founded with National Aerospace and Defense Industries (NADI) , the airline Malindo Air (name derived from MALaysia-INDOnesia). Another 49 percent subsidiary is Thai Lion Air, founded in 2013 . Both fly in the same color scheme as Lion Air. Other subsidiaries are Batik Air and Wings Abadi Airlines , although this is not recognizable from their corporate design.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced Lion Air to cease flight operations for the time being. Flight operations were resumed on June 1, 2020, but had to be stopped on Friday, June 5, 2020, as most of the passengers were unable to comply with the state-prescribed rules to contain the pandemic (including the submission of certain prescribed documents). This renewed shutdown of flight operations also affects the subsidiaries Wings Air and Batik Air .
Destinations
Lion Air mainly serves a dense network of destinations within Indonesia. Lion Air also serves some international destinations.

Incidents
Lion Air has had eight aircraft loss incidents in its history, including two fatalities. Furthermore, the airline has a noticeably high number of incidents in which a machine got off the runway during take-off or landing. The Aviation Herald has listed seven such incidents as of January 2009 alone .
- On 14 January 2002 a 32-year-old came Boeing 737-200 ( Air vehicle registration PK-LID ) on Lion Air Flight 386 after a rejected take-off 275 meters behind the end of the start / runway 18 of the Sultan Syarif Kasim II airport to a standstill . In this incident, there were no fatalities among the 96 passengers and 7 crew members, but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
- On November 30, 2004, a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 ( PK-LMN ) crashed on Lion Air Flight 538 when it shot over the runway when landing at Surakarta Airport as a result of tail wind and aquaplaning . 23 passengers and 2 crew members lost their lives in this accident.
- On March 4, 2006, a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 crashed on Lion Air Flight 8987 at Surabaya-Juanda Airport. The machine came off the runway sideways on landing, the entire landing gear buckling and the machine with the abdominal section slid over a green area. None of the 144 occupants were harmed, but the machine was written off as a total loss due to the damage amounting to around three million US dollars.
- On December 24, 2006, a Boeing 737-400 on Lion Air Flight 792 crashed while landing at Ujung Pandang-Hasanudin Airport. The aircraft came off the runway sideways after jumping twice. The right main landing gear was torn off, the left one protruded over the wing section and the airframe was warped. The machine had to be written off as a total loss. The 164 inmates survived the incident unharmed.
- On March 9, 2009, a McDonnell Douglas MD-90 on Lion Air Flight 793 landed at Jakarta-Soekarno-Hatta airport from the side of the runway, with the main landing gear buckling and the machine touching down with the underside of the fuselage. The 172 people on board survived the incident unscathed, but the aircraft had to be written off as a total loss.
- On November 2, 2010, a Boeing 737-400 on Lion Air Flight 712 overshot the runway at Pontianak-Supadio Airport. The 175 occupants left the machine unharmed. The engines, the front landing gear and the underside of the fuselage were badly damaged and the machine had to be written off as a total loss.
- On April 13, 2013, a Boeing 737-800 (PK-LKS) on Lion Air Flight 904 approaching Denpasar Airport on Bali touched down in front of the runway in the sea and broke in two. All 108 inmates survived the accident. Despite the lack of runway visibility, the approach had continued; the go-around was then initiated too deep. Some of the flight attendants had never received practical training for an evacuation. However, airport operators and the Indonesian aviation authority were also addressed in the investigation report. In the ten years up to this accident in 2013, there were 29 total losses on passenger flights in Indonesia, 18 of them with a total of 450 fatalities.
- On October 29, 2018, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 (PK-LQP) crashed into the sea on Lion Air Flight 610 in the early morning off the coast of Java . The plane, fully occupied with 189 people, was on its way from Jakarta to Pangkal Pinang. At 06:33 local time, thirteen minutes after take-off from Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Jakarta, Indonesian air traffic control lost contact with the machine. All 189 inmates were killed.
