As archipelago economic, Indonesia absolutely need to connect its thousand islands across the country to spread economic development and decreasing the gap among the islands, from Sabang to Merauke.

Many people think that indonesia's economic development is centered on Java, but i don't think so. Let's take a look at the outside Java, that's true Java still has better infrastructures among others but the trend which is booked in the so-called "Master Plan for the Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesian Economic Growth" which is in bahasa we abbreviated MP3EI, all regions across the country will touch with massive economic development specially in infrastructure.

Let's open up our eyes to Sumatra island, as the second biggest economic pie after Java island, recently Sumatra proudly hosted the biggest sports event in ASEAN which called SEA GAMES. Palembang was being the honorable city to host it, afterward Medan which is located in Sumatra Island is being the first city which has the first Indonesia's integrated airport train and beat Java island which is expected to have the first Indonesia's integrated airport train in Indonesia.

Nowadays is greatest era of PT Dirgantara Indonesia as the only one local airplane maker nationwide and also in ASEAN neighborhood. The state-owned enterprise which is commonly called PT DI is currently actively securing many projects from Government itself and even foreign buyers ranging from Malaysia, and even South Korea.

In addition, one of fastest asia's growing airline Lion Air group which is recently well-known due to purchasing many airplanes from global airplane maker ranging from Boeing and also Airbus was recently stated that they were keen to buy airplanes from local airplane maker PT DI, they also stated that it is one of the way to support national airplane industry which is currently trying to ramp up after getting trouble in their financial system.

The step which was taken by Lion Air Group is like nice route for PT DI to expand their own business after getting special treatment from state owned enterprise in their funding. Lion Air Itself is planned to buy around 50 units of airplane N219 in the next 2 years. This plan also quite reinforces Lion Air Group as the largest carrier nationwide. And extending their shopaholic after acquiring many airplanes from Boeing and also Airbus.

Time goes by PT DI is increasingly becoming bigger and also much more healthy in their financial system due to bunch of orders. Other than from domestic buyers and foreign traditional buyers like Malaysia and South Korea, PT DI and government is also intensifying to promote their products into new market like in ASEAN neighborhood, Middle-East and even Africa.

PT DI should be taking major role over growing airplane passengers in Indonesia amid steady grow of Indonesia's economic. Indonesia which is the biggest archipelago economics world wide absolutely requires adequate air transportation to spur economics development across nation wide which is currently still having gap development.

PT DI should taking leverage this country as their potential market, small airplanes like N219 is so much match with our geographical which is made up of thousands islands. Before foreign airplane maker like ATR, Embraer and even from China's airplane maker catch this potential market, PT DI should be the first player.

Ragarding to what PT DI should do in the future, what Lion Air Group did is really nice to stimulate PT DI's growth. What Lion Air Group did is also good step in their business to catch potential market over indonesia's thousand islands. So, what we need is synergy over local airlines with local airplane maker in order to be "We All Rise"
