Meant to be doing a 51-49 deal with SkyAirWorld to get around the 50% plus autralian control rules...and also to apparently avoid having to apply for a certificate to fly.

Not sure how they're going though, were going to start with 6 737's on mainly international routes.

Perhaps someone one here can provide some more up-to-date details i havent found :)

Rhys, are you working for Lion Air?

[Lukas M]

Apparently they are focusing on the routes that were once served by AdamAir...

Where'd you get this information from Rhys? I hope we're not getting back into any bad habits here mate! :cool:

The tie up between Lion and SAW has been delayed a year or so because Lion needs all the capacity it can get in its domestic market. Since Adam Air was wound up and other airlines grounded a lot of their older aircraft, Lion is rushing to fill those gaps.

Whatever would give you that idea:p

Its more speculation rather than anything tangible from what i have read.

OK, so why say "...apparently..." if it's just "...speculation..." on your part?

Seriously mate, if it's your opinion or personal speculation, make it clear please! :rolleyes: Better still, just keep it to yourself unless you have any kind of background or first hand knowledge!
