The Lion owners like to segment their business into many different companies. That way, when they inevitably have a major accident due to overworked and underpaid crews and poor maintenance, they can just close down that company and escape any responsibility, while continuing to operate the others unaffected.

[@AFP557]

The airline was started because Lion Air was delinquent on the lease payments of 30 of their 737-900ERs during covid. Subsequently, these were repossessed by the lessors (and later got bought by delta). Needing to make up for the lost capacity, the airline group leased lots of older A320s from different lessors. There were some good articles about it in the Air Finance Journal at the time. To my knowledge, the 737-900ER lessors are still fighting Lion in court for the arrears in lease payments.

I flew with Super Air Jet 4 months ago with my family, and my mom also experienced the exact same problem as you regarding the seat lol. And yeah, for some reason, they don't sell any on board things. Not even a bottle of water. Probably because they're ultra low cost. We forgot to bring any water with us during our 3 hour flight and I almost passed out because of dehydration. Good thing I managed to survive

[@sgsggsgsshshs8900]

Prob they cut the onboard beverage for saving fuel to get less weight. Its low cost afterall

It probably depends. I've seen some people in front of me ordering cup noodles for their flight meal. The stewardess also brought a trolley full of snacks... there wasn't any heavy meals tho.

Thanks for the video, Noel. One of the reasons (in the past) that explained the poor safety record of Indonesian airlines is they grew and expanded too fast. Indonesia has a huge population (approximately 273 million) and is a vast country with tens of thousands of islands. There is a high demand for air travel to enable people to move across the islands so any airline will have business. Purchasing aircraft is easy but setting up systems within which the aircraft are operated and maintained, for example, flight crew with the necessary experience, maintenance crew, cabin crew, ground crew and ATC is the difficult part. When an airline grows fast (with several aircraft and routes) without corresponding human resources and technical growth then something has to give. I believe Indonesia has improved its safety record. Their flag carrier (Garuda) and other carriers including Lion Air were removed from the EU blacklist. I learned a new word from this video...."Chiropractor". Thanks again Noel and I'll see you on the next one.

This also reminds of how dangerous sea transit was in Indonesia too that caused the increased demand to choose flying.

Just did a big SE ASIA trip, part of which was Singapore to Bali on SIA, then Malaysian airlines to KL, then air Asia to Cambodia, bus to Bangkok, SIA to Singapore. The next bit was Garuda to Jakarta, train to Yogyakarta, Garuda to Jakarta then Garuda to Bangkok. Garuda turned out to be on par with SIA for comfort and food etc, also have got their safety issues up to scratch. You could have taken the train from Jakarta just about all the way to Bali if you had time, more comfortable than UK trains and their version of first class is quite affordable too. Indonesia also probably has the most friendly people on earth. The day flights I took were quite scenic as you flew over some of the many volcanoes.

You gave me flashbacks to my first international flight, with the broken seat! We were flying Qantas, to Perth. The only seats together ( I was newly married and we were going to spend time with family there and here in New Zealand) were in the smoking section, thankfully at the front. As we climbed, so the back of my seat jolted out of position. I did all I could not to fall back. I made the flight attendant aware but was told they had no other seats so I had to cope until we got to Singapore! It was agonising - I was leaning forward, not touching the seat, the entire time and by the time we landed, was almost in tears, exhausted and hungry, as eating was impossible in that position. No apology from Qantas, nothing - seems I didn't make enough of a fuss as the response I got told me that had I made the crew aware, they had empty seats in BUSINESS class, that I could've been moved to since we were underway! Suffice to say, I've never flown with them since!
