Charlotte Bailey

Yasa-Sam Air has ordered a Cessna Caravan, via parent company PT Semuwa Aviasi Mandiri, to support missions across Indonesia. This airplane will augment the Caravan and Grand Caravan EX it currently uses for charter and logistics missions.
The addition of a third unit will enable Sam Air to “enhance [its] ability to serve domestic charter routes, logistics services, and public service missions across Indonesia,” the aircraft manufacturer, Textron Aviation, said. Tony Jones, Textron Aviation v-p of sales for Asia-Pacific, added that the Caravan’s “proven reliability and operational flexibility [make] it an ideal solution for missions across Indonesia.”
Along with its passenger transportation flights to “all regions of Indonesia,” Sam Air noted that it also supports government programs “to achieve equitable economic development in underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost regions.” In November 2024, the company signed an agreement to purchase two CASA C-212 cargo aircraft and two Indonesian Aerospace N219 light utility aircraft.
