Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta Airport
Sriwijaya Air uses the main domestic terminal (Terminal 2) for all its flights: Terminal 2E for domestic and 2F for international flights.
Sriwijaya Air was founded in 2003 by the Lie family (Hendry and Chandra Lie), Johannes Bundjamin and Andy Halim. Together they wanted to start an airline which would connect the whole archipelago. The name Sriwijaya is based on the old Srivijaya empire which roughly encompassed current Sumatra, Java and Peninsular Malaysia in the 7th till 13th century. The word Srivijaya itself is Sanskrit and a contraction of the two words Sri (meaning fortunate or happy) and Vijaya (meaning victorious or excellence). Sriwijaya Air began flying in 2003 with flights between Jakarta and Pangkal Pinang (on Bangka Island). Soon other routes followed such as Jakarta Pontionak (Borneo) and Jakarta Palembang (Sumatra) and in a five years time Sriwijaya Air flew to 30 destinations with over 20 aircraft. Since then, around 2009, Sriwijaya Air faced increased competition by Lion Air and growth stalled. While Lion Air owns and operates brand-new Boeing 737-900 Sriwijaya Air still used second-hand and leased twenty-year old airplanes. The last years Sriwijaya Air has put its energy not so much in expansion of new destinations but in a fleet renewal program. The airline has bought its first brand-new 737-900 airplanes as well and will retire its entire 737 Classic fleet by leasing and buying newer aircraft. In 2013 Sriwijaya Air launched its subsidiary NAM air, which will fly on minor routes, feeding passengers on Sriwijaya Air flights on the main routes.
