History

Asia Avia Airlines was established and started operations in 2003. It was wholly owned by PT Asia Avia Megamata.[1] In 2006, all flight operations were suspended and the licence was withdrawn.[3] In February 2007, the Transportation Ministry delayed the license revocation of 11 idle airlines, including Asia Avia Airlines, to give restructuring opportunities to the operators,[4] which did not materialize.
