BBN Airlines Indonesia has officially joined the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a significant move as the airline continues its regional expansion. IATA, a global association representing over 370 airlines across more than 120 countries, accounts for approximately 85% of global air traffic.
Founded in Jakarta in 2022, BBN Airlines Indonesia specialises in wet-lease and charter services, catering to airlines and aviation customers across Indonesia and the Asia-Pacific region. The airline's membership in IATA follows its successful acquisition of the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) registration in 2025, a prerequisite for joining the association.
The airline currently operates two Boeing 737-800 aircraft and plans to expand its fleet with an Airbus A320, with commercial operations slated to commence in December 2026. "We are proud to become part of the IATA network," said Werry Orbani, CEO of BBN Airlines Indonesia. "This membership represents an important step in our development as we continue expanding our wet-lease and charter operations."
As an IATA member, BBN Airlines Indonesia will engage more closely in industry discussions and initiatives, enhancing its connections with international aviation stakeholders. The airline is part of Avia Solutions Group, the world's largest ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance) provider, which operates a fleet of 136 aircraft globally. This membership is expected to bolster BBN Airlines Indonesia's role in the international aviation community, providing reliable capacity solutions across the region.
