pt lion mentari airlines , operating as lion air , is an indonesian low-cost carrier .

based in jakarta , indonesia , lion air is the country 's largest privately run airline , the second largest low-cost airline in southeast asia after airasia and the second largest airline of indonesia , flying to more than 79 destinations in indonesia , singapore , malaysia and saudi arabia , as well as charter routes to china , hong kong and macau .

established in 1999 , lion air has seen tremendous growth in the past several years , having acquired over 100 aircraft with nearly 500 more on order .

the airline has repeatedly broken records for largest aircraft orders , such as its $ 24 billion order for 234 airbus a320 jets , as well as its $ 22.4 billion order for 230 competing aircraft from boeing .

the airline signed agreement with us-based aircraft manufacturer boeing for 50 737 max 10 passenger jets worth $ 6.24 billion in june , 2017 .

the airline is the 2nd largest customer of boeing .

it had once been criticized for poor operational management in areas such as scheduling and safety , although steps have been taken to improve its safety : on june 16 , 2016 , the european union lifted the ban it had placed on lion air from flying into european airspace .

lion air operates over 100 boeing 737-800/900 er aircraft .

the airline has been characterised by its rapid expansion and the success of its low-cost business model .

the airline holds minority shareholdings in associate companies based in thailand ( thai lion air ) and malaysia ( malindo air ) .

the rest of the group currently operates only 10 scheduled international routes . this includes eight for lion air , one for thai lion and one for the indonesian full service subsidiary batik air . the group’s fifth airline , wings air , is a regional operator in indonesia and only serves the domestic market .

lion group added 15 aircraft in indonesia in 2017 – a modest figure given the huge size of indonesia’s domestic market . along with the eight additional aircraft at batik , lion air expanded its fleet by three aircraft while wings air added four aircraft .

the other five narrowbody aircraft taken by lion group this year include the one 737 - 800 for lion air mentioned earlier in this report and four 737 - 800s for its malaysian affiliate malindo air . ( the lion group also has taken 12 atr 72 - 600 turboprops so far in 2015 , all of which have been placed with indonesian regional carrier wings air ) .

but three more of the variant have been added to lion air’s total , airbus has disclosed in its latest backlog revision .

the most likely breakdown will see lion air take nine 737s in 2014 , thai lion eight aircraft , malindo seven aircraft and batik six aircraft . but again this is subject to change as the year unfolds because lion is a nimble group .

a significant portion of the outstanding orders will not go to lion air indonesia . some will go to malindo ( reported to be taking the majority of the remaining 737 - 900er orders , if it can get out of its mess of low loads ) , some will go to the upcoming lion air thailand , and lion air vietnam is said to be in the works .

the budget airline had high flight frequency - - 490 domestic flights and 42 international flights per week - placing it the third largest in number of air passengers after lion air and garuda indonesia .

the lion air group , owned by rusdi kirana , remains the dominating force in indonesia ' s airline industry . with its three units ( lion air , batik air , and wings air ) the group carried 20 . 5 million air passengers in the first half of 2016 , controlling 48 . 4 percent of the market in the first half of 2016 , followed by the garuda indonesia group , and the sriwijaya air group . edward sirait , president director of the lion air group , said the group ' s market share has grown 5 percent over the past year . this is remarkable considering that the global and domestic economy remained somewhat bleak .

so far lion group’s indonesia - based full service airline subsidiary batik air has taken all of the group’s a320s . batik is again earmarked to take all of lion group’s a320 family aircraft deliveries in 2017 – including a mix of ceos and neos . lion prefers to focus on a320s at batik while maintaining all - boeing narrowbody fleets at lion , thai lion and malindo .

after sensing the efficiency of fuel use on boeing 737 - 900er aircraft , lion air also tried to operate boeing 737 - 800ng since 2012 . the boeing 737 - 800ng owned lion air has a single - class configuration and can carry as many as 189 passengers . until now lion air has 32 units of boeing 737 - 800ng . with the recent addition of boeing 737 - 800ng on lion air ' s fleet , it will allow the airline to offer more non - stop flights at affordable rates to many destinations .

sriwijaya air came in third with a market share of 10 . 4 percent , followed by garuda’s low - cost subsidiary citilink ( 8 . 9 percent ) and lion air ' s wings air ( 4 . 7 percent ) . indonesia air asia , a unit of the malaysian budget airline , had a 4 . 4 percent market share .
