DOES THE INDUSTRY HAVE SUFFICIENT AND QUALIFIED PILOTS OR ENGINEERS TO SUPPORT INDONESIA’S ECONOMIC GROWTH?
nowadays of the benefits of business aviation, compared to a few years back. In addition to that, people obviously need more time, flexibility and a social statement.
Q: A bank study predicts that Indonesia will be the world’s sixth largest economy by 2030. What does this mean for its business aviation industry, and how does the industry keep up with this growth?
Of course, it means good for the industry. It will certainly bring challenges as well. For example — manpower matters; in essence, does the industry have sufficient and qualified pilots or engineers to support this growth? Secondly, there is the matter of facilities — does Indonesia have sufficient maintenance support or airport facilities for business aircraft? Those are some of the challenges that Premiair has captured, and which lead to opportunities moving ahead.
Q: What are the top three challenges currently facing Indonesia’s business aviation industry? I would say limited manpower in terms of crew; facilities and infrastructure; and bureaucracy and regulations.
Q: What are the three major improvements that Indonesian air charter operators seek in terms of the country’s business aviation regulations and infrastructure? I would say that the most needed improvement is in the sector of aviation support facilities, such as maintenance support providers (MRO), hangarage and fixed base operations (FBO) facilities.
Q: Mining, gas and oil companies are Indonesia’s major private jet users. In contrast, how has the use of private aircraft for travel/leisure among Indonesians grown in the past three years?
Travel/leisure using private jets has also been increasing in the past three years. We have seen the pattern. However, it has not been growing as much as the need for corporate/ business travel. The top three international destinations among our clients are Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia, mostly for business.
Q: There is a growing number of air charter operators in Indonesia. How does Premiair position itself against the competition?
We aim to be always one step ahead. Currently, Premiair is positioning itself more as an aviation support services company that continuously develops its infrastructure. >>
