Susi Air is one of the airlines in Indonesia which is managed by PT ASI Pujiastuti Aviation. Susi Air mostly operates in areas that are not yet touched by other big airlines.

Susi Air originated from Susi Pudjiastuti's dream of wanting to have a plane to transport fish from Pangandaraan to Jakarta. Susi was a fish entrepreneur at that time.

He sends the fish collected from Pangandaran fishermen to Jakarta by truck. Susi is not the son of a businessman from a wealthy family. She's just a woman who didn't even graduate high school.

For Susi, formal education is not important and with high determination she left high school and with her hard work and persistence she managed to have an export-quality fish processing factory and 50 aircraft.

Susi Air first flew in 2004. Actually, Susi had drawn up a business plan with her husband, Christian Von Strombeck in 2000, but at that time no bank was willing to lend funds to buy an airplane.

Only in 2004, Bank Mandiri loaned funds amounting to 4.7 million US dollars to start its aviation business. The tsunami disaster in Aceh that occurred in 2004, exactly two months after Susi Air's first flight, had hampered Susi Air's pace.

At that time Susi, the owner, chose to operate her plane to send food and medicine to victims of the tsunami disaster. Because of this humanity, he almost did not care about the losses he suffered because his plane could not operate and automatically there was no income at that time.

But who would have thought that his kindness would bear sweet fruit when Susi Air was about to return to Cilacap, a foreign non-governmental organization intended to rent the plane to send aid to Aceh. The airplane rental money can be used to pay installments to the bank.

Susi Air is currently more focused on pioneering airlines but is always developing its aviation business. In 2011, Susi Air already had 50 aircraft and 80 pilots but the owner continued to expand its wings.
