Babyt 4th Gear September 16, 2008 Share September 16, 2008 generally not safe coz its inodnesia! but normally they will use lousy old planes for domestic flights...for international one..probably 'better' planes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B777jubilee 2nd Gear September 16, 2008 Share September 16, 2008 This is not a fair statement. Lion Air uses B737-800ER, one of the most advanced B737 jets flying around. its even newer than the 737s flown by Malaysia Airlines. In fact the new B737 are newer than many of the planes that SIA flies. But i do agree that there are many old jets flying around in indonesia, but these jets if properly maintained, are will able to fly safely. Many Americans major airlines also use planes that are more than 20 years old Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetabout777 1st Gear September 16, 2008 Share September 16, 2008 (edited) I have to agree with B777. However, Lion Air uses the B737-900ER instead of the 800ER for their B737 Next Generation fleet. It is the largest B737 produced in terms of passenger load and size. The 737-900ER will most likely be used for Bali flights unless something unforeseen happens whereby they might have to use their older aircraft like the MD-80 series aircraft which just had an accident operating with Spanair in August in Spain. For your info, Lion Air will be replacing all their aircraft to B737-900ERs in the coming years. Statistically, this will enable Lion Air to have an average fleet age much younger than SIA.

Jetabout777 1st Gear September 16, 2008 Share September 16, 2008 Actually I wouldn't consider Lion Air as a budget airline given the fact that they have a business class configuration onboard their aircraft. You may want to consider them as a regional airline like SilkAir. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_blade Turbocharged September 16, 2008 Share September 16, 2008 I agree with you. Indo airlines, at this moment, have bad safety ratings. http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Indonesia_shut...safety_concerns Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
