# An Overview of Batik Air and Career Opportunities for Flight Attendants
Batik Air, a prominent Indonesian full-service carrier, has established itself as a significant player in the aviation industry since its inception in 2013. Operating as a premium subsidiary of the Lion Air Group, the airline was conceived by founder Rusdi Kirana to address the growing demand for comprehensive, high-quality air travel services. Since its inaugural flight from Jakarta to Manado and Balikpapan in May 2013, the airline has continuously evolved its fleet and operational strategy to maintain its competitive edge in the medium-haul market.
## The Evolution of the Batik Air Fleet
The birth of Batik Air was strategically designed to leverage the extensive order book of its parent company, Lion Air. Initially, the airline focused on utilizing the Boeing 737-900ER to provide a premium passenger experience. While there were early ambitions to enter the long-haul international market with Boeing 787 Dreamliners, the company pivoted its strategy in 2014. By refocusing on medium-haul operations, Batik Air replaced these wide-body orders with additional narrow-body Boeing 737 aircraft, ensuring the airline remains agile and efficient within its primary regional markets.
