| | KOMO : Lion Air To Buy 60 New Boeing 737 Aircraft (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | With the purchase, Lion is hoping to grab a bigger share of the largely untapped domestic market and become a leading regional player alongside Malaysia's AirAsia, a spokesman said. |
 | | Lion Air, the country's second-largest carrier behind state-run Garuda Indonesia, announced last year that it was leasing Jakarta's regional Halim Perdanakusma airport and would expand its routes across Asia. |
 | | Nevertheless, Haysim said Lion Air expects its passenger traffic to grow by as much as 30 percent this year, and it plans to begin serving routes to India, Australia, China, Japan and Hong Kong. |
