History
As Awair
The airline was established as Awair ( Air Wagon International ) in 1999 by Abdurrahman Wahid, chairman of Nahdlatul Ulama. It is the largest Muslim organization in Indonesia. He owns a 40% stake in the airline he released after being elected president of Indonesia in late October 1999. It began operations on June 22, 2000 with Airbus A300, A310 and A320 aircraft, but all flights were suspended in March 2002. Awair resumed operations in domestic in Indonesia as an AirAsia partner in January 2005.
As Indonesia AirAsia
On December 1, 2005, Awair changed its name to Indonesia AirAsia in line with other AirAsia branded airlines in the region. AirAsia Berhad owns 49% stake in the airline with Fersindo Nusaperkasa owning 51%. Indonesian law prohibits majority foreign ownership of domestic civil aviation operations.
The company appointed CIMB Securities Indonesia and Credit Suisse Securities Indonesia as lead-lead underwriter for 20 percent of IPOs in the fourth quarter of 2011.
The purchase of Batavia Air was announced on July 26, 2012. In two stages, AirAsia purchased 76.95% shares of Metro Batavia in partnership with Fersindo Nusaperkasa (Indonesia AirAsia). In 2013, AirAsia will acquire the remaining 23.05% owned by other shareholders. The acquisition of Batavia Air by AirAsia Berhad and Fersindo caused controversy with Indonesian regulators at the time.
By 11 October 2012 the deal between AirAsia Berhad, Fersindo Nusaperkasa (Indonesia AirAsia) and PT Metro Batavia had reversed.
When the planned takeover cancellation between Batavia and AirAsia was announced on October 11, 2012, a joint statement was issued announcing plans to proceed with an alliance covering land handling, distribution and inventory systems in Indonesia. The statement also announced plans to submit an operational alliance between Batavia and the Air Asia group.
Batavia and Indonesia Air Asia announced plans to form a separate joint venture to provide regional pilot training centers in Indonesia. No details were given to the new alliance when it was announced in early October 2012.
