About Wings Abadi

PT Wings Abadi Airlines, operating as Wings Air, is a scheduled commuter low-cost airline based in Jakarta, Indonesia. Established on July 10, 2003, it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Lion Air Group. The airline was founded to provide short-haul regional flight services, connecting smaller cities and remote islands across Indonesia's extensive archipelago and acting as a feeder for its parent company, Lion Air.

Wings Air operates out of several key operational bases across Indonesia, including Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport in Makassar, as well as bases in Denpasar, Kupang, Manado, Medan, and Surabaya. Its route network is exclusively domestic, linking tier-two and tier-three cities to bypass congestion in larger hubs like Jakarta. The airline serves 77 destinations with 251 routes, primarily focusing on regional accessibility within Indonesia.

The airline's fleet consists entirely of ATR 72 turboprop aircraft, specifically the ATR 72-500 and ATR 72-600 models. As of August 2025, Wings Air operates a fleet of 77 aircraft, comprising 18 ATR 72-500s and 59 ATR 72-600s. Wings Air is not a member of any major global airline alliance such as Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld. As a low-cost carrier, it offers a single, high-density all-economy cabin configuration with basic services tailored for short-haul travel, typically without in-flight entertainment or complimentary meals.

Traveler Reviews

Traveler reviews for Wings Air indicate a mixed, though often critical, experience.

What Travelers Love:

  • Convenient for specific routes: Often the only airline operating on certain regional routes, making it a necessary choice for travelers between particular islands or smaller cities.
  • Regular flight schedules: Despite frequent delays, the airline does offer numerous flights per day on some routes, providing options for connectivity.

Common Complaints:

  • Frequent and long delays/cancellations: This is the most prevalent complaint, with delays ranging from 45 minutes to several hours, and sometimes outright cancellations without sufficient notice or explanation.
  • Poor communication: Passengers frequently report a lack of information or miscommunication regarding flight delays and cancellations from airline staff.
  • Rude staff and poor customer service: Many travelers describe staff as unhelpful, rude, or lacking in customer service, especially when addressing flight disruptions or baggage issues.
  • Hidden or unclear baggage fees: Travelers, particularly those with surfboards, have reported unexpected and high charges for luggage that were not clearly communicated on the website.
  • Uncomfortable cabin environment: Some reviews mention hot cabins, especially when planes are delayed on the tarmac, and substandard air conditioning during flights.

Overall sentiment towards Wings Air is generally negative, primarily driven by its inconsistent punctuality and perceived poor customer service. While it serves a crucial role in domestic connectivity, many travelers express frustration and advise against using the airline if alternative options are available.

Safety Information

Wings Air has experienced several operational incidents, though none of the specific reported incidents resulted in fatalities. The airline's safety rating is rated 4 out of 7 by AirlineRatings, as of January 2, 2026.

  • Recent safety record and any notable incidents:
  • On December 25, 2016, Wings Air Flight 1896, an ATR 72-600, veered off the runway and crashed on its side while landing in Semarang during bad weather. No one was killed, but six people were treated for shock, and the aircraft was substantially damaged.
  • On January 5, 2017, Wings Air Flight 1372, an ATR-72-500, overran the taxiway at Rahadi Osman Airport in Ketapang. There were no fatalities among the 30 passengers and five crew.
  • On February 17, 2024, Wings Air Flight 1646, an ATR-72-212A, was reportedly shot at in the Papua Highlands. No one was hurt.
  • Other incidents include a burst tire on landing at Bandar Lampung in February 2017 (Flight IW-1286), a failure of all instruments on a flight from Ambon to Babo in July 2020 (Flight IW-3544), and landing at the wrong airport in Sintang in June 2018 (Flight IW-1370).
  • Regulatory certifications (IOSA, FAA compliance, EU safety list status): Specific information on Wings Air's IOSA (IATA Operational Safety Audit) certification, FAA compliance, or its status on the EU safety list was not found in the search results. However, Indonesia's aviation sector, in general, has faced scrutiny for safety oversight. In January 2017, Indonesia's Air Accident Investigation Commission (AAIC) requested Wings Abadi Airlines to review its bounced-landing protocols and emergency evacuation training with its pilots.
  • Fleet age and maintenance reputation: As of May 2022, the average age of Wings Air's ATR 72-500 aircraft was 10.9 years old. While direct information on its maintenance reputation is not explicitly detailed, the AAIC's recommendations in 2017 suggest areas for improvement in operational safety and training.
  • Overall safety assessment based on available data: While Wings Air has been involved in several incidents, including runway excursions and operational issues, the available data indicates a record of avoiding fatal accidents in these specific events. AirlineRatings provides Wings Air with a safety rating of 4 out of 7.
  • Any safety awards or recognitions: No specific safety awards or recognitions for Wings Abadi (ICAO: WON) airline were found in the provided search results.
