Why travel by private jet?
Traveling in your own private aircraft is the ultimate way to experience Indonesia. The biggest advantage is the time savings - most commercial flights in Indonesia connect in major hubs like Jakarta and Bali, but with a private jet, you can avoid this hassle. Furthermore, you won’t have to worry about flight delays or cancellations. Indonesia is yours to discover on your own King Air Turboprop - a reliable, safe, and comfortable choice for your Indonesian getaway.
