Mandala Airlines (recently marketing name Tigerair Mandala ) was an Indonesian airline based in Jakarta and based at Soekarno-Hatta Airport .
history
Mandala Airlines was founded in 1969 and began operating in the same year. The airline was 90 percent owned by Yayasan Dharma Putra Kostrad, the remaining 10 percent was split between Dharma, Kencana, Sakti and Nusamba. The company had 1,322 employees. Mandala was a member of the Indonesian National Air Carriers Association's transferable ticket system , which allows passengers to use their tickets with any of the participating transport companies. It had been owned by Indonesian investment firms Indigo Partners and Cardig International since 2006.
In August 2007 the airline was put on the list of operating bans for the airspace of the European Union together with all Indonesian airlines . This ban was lifted with the updated list from 2009.
Flight operations were temporarily suspended on January 13, 2011. A necessary restructuring due to high debt was cited as the reason for this. On April 5, 2012, flight operations were resumed with a reduced fleet. The necessary capital was acquired through the sale of a 33 percent stake in the company to the Tiger Airways Group. This was then responsible for operations and changed the marketing name of Mandala Airlines to Tigerair Mandala on July 3, 2013; however, the Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) was still Mandala Airlines. On July 1, 2014, the company ceased operations on the Hong Kong - Denpasar flight and filed for bankruptcy in December 2014.
