pict Indo-Aviation.com | Batik Air's Airplane

In the late may 2013 Batik Air as new full service airline which is included into Lion Air Group as one of major airline group in Indonesia inaugurated their flight from Jakarta-Manado, Sulawesi. Very interesting to see what going to be happened on the full service airlines market as far as we know Garuda Indonesia is the only one player which plays on this field in Indonesia.

Batik Air itself is not yet known what the concept they will bring bring such as Garuda Indonesia which brings Indonesia Experience as their sale. As we know Lion Air group itself already ordered bunch of airplanes from both major commercial airplane makers Boieng and also Airbus. No wonder eventually the Lion Group would absorb their airplanes by establishing new airline or even adding new route flights.

The example is by establishing Batik Air as the only one competitor for Garuda Indonesia in full services domestic market. Batik Air will directly compete with Garuda Indonesia, even Garuda Indonesia is much more elder than Batik Air, the competition itself is expected to be hot given the the full service airline itself is only dominated by Garuda Indonesia.

On the other hand when i was visiting a website forum Skyscraper City Indonesia, they have special thread which is talking about Batik Air, yet badly i got alot of complaints from some forumers, they criticized the concept of Batik Air which is considered very carelessly, They also stated that Batik Air did not put more attentions on every single detail of their own concept.

From such as comments, we wish Batik Air is able perform much more better then the customer would have choices for flight and also would trigger healthy competition over Garuda Indonesia, In the end we would have much more cheaper prices for flight in full service airlines.
