Airlines History

Merpati Airlines was one of the pioneer airlines of Indonesia. The airline was established on Sept. 6, 1962, to take over the network of domestic flights previously operated by the country’s Air Force. The airline also took over international flight routes to West Irian. The airline’s pilots and aircraft technicians were supplied by Garuda Indonesia Airways, the Indonesian Air Force and other Indonesian aviation companies. The goal was to have the airline access more remote areas of the country, helping the local economies in otherwise untraveled areas. The idea of providing an “air bridge” to these remote areas is what inspired the company’s logo. The airline was taken over by Garuda Indonesia Airways in 1978 and became a part of the Garuda Indonesia Group in 1989. However, the companies eventually parted ways in 1997. Unfortunately, Merpati Airlines suffered financial troubles in 2011, and eventually went bankrupt and commenced operations in February of 2014. The airline’s financial troubles were so extreme that it was unable to pay its pilots and other employees, causing the collapse of one of Indonesia’s favorite ways to fly.

Airlines Bankrupcy

Merpati Nusantara Airlines declared bankruptcy at the end of 2014, following the collapse of Merpati Airlines. The bankruptcy can be attributed to a number of factors. The airline’s debt was greater than its assets, and the company was unable to pay its employees’ salaries and bonuses.

Airlines Rating & Review
I don’t expect much when flying with low-cost airlines. After all, the ticket prices are low for a reason. However, I was blown away by Merpati’s friendly staff, easy check-in process, comfortable seats, clean cabin and delicious in-flight meals. I felt more like I was flying on a full-service airline than a low-cost one. I hope to fly with Merpati much more often in the future.

I have flown with Merpati Airlines since I was young, and I still choose to fly with them whenever possible. The tickets are always affordable, the flights are on time and the flight attendants are more friendly than many other low-cost airlines. I also like that the cabin and economy class seats seem more spacious on Merpati’s aircraft than with a number of other budget airlines. This airline doesn’t offer over-the-top amenities, but you’ll arrive at your destination on time and in comfort.

Airlines Rating Review
It seems that many low-cost airlines aren’t held to the high standards of full-service ones. I see a lot of passengers waiting for delayed flights or dealing with cancelled ones when I’m flying throughout Indonesia and all of Southeast Asia. However, all of my flights with Merpati have been smooth and on time. I even arrived early on my most recent flight to Sumbawa, and my luggage was waiting when arrived in the airport lobby. As an avid surfer on often brief trips, reliability is important to me, and that’s why I choose Merpati.
