ASTRO JET SUCCESSFULLY DELIVERS BOEING 737-800 AIRPLANE FOR INDONESIA NATIONAL POLICE FORCE

Astro Jet, LLC has successfully completed the delivery flight of a Boeing 737-800 Next Generation (737-800NG) aircraft registered as VP-BQY which has been converted to P-7301 and now belongs to the Indonesian National Police. The assignment for the delivery flight of this aircraft was carried out from Ostrava – Czech Republic to Jakarta, Indonesia.

Astro Jet is a subsidiary business of the Astronacci Aviation, LLC group, that focuses on ferry flights of various types of aircraft around the world including and not limited to Boeing and Airbus, and other types of airplanes. This time, Astro Jet was appointed as the representative to deliver this Boeing 737 which is now owned by the National Police of Indonesia. Astro Jet, LLC, which has branches in the United States and Indonesia, has ferry flight operator authorization approval from several countries in the world. Not only ferry flights, but Astro Jet also provides services such as aircraft registration and deregistration processes, flight tests, leasing & ferry flight insurance, flight support, aircraft trading and acquisition consulting, RVSM, RNP, and NAT HLA authorization. Other than that, assigning Astro Jet for our services provides our customers with guaranteed benefits that consist of highly qualified pilots to fly your aircraft, an efficient trip for your aircraft, and cost savings. Astro Jet offers would reduce the risk of having to pay extra expenses for avoidable operational issues while still offering exceptional prices and service for your aircraft delivery.

The search for the aircraft that fit the needs was carried out in various places, such as Asia, Africa, to Europe, where the best choice was eventually found in the Czech Republic, due to the aircraft being fuel efficient, and 2-2.5% more cost-friendly than the regular Boeing 737-800. For over two months, Capt. Dr. Gema Goeyardi together with the Astro Jet team worked hard to prepare the delivery process for the Boeing 737-800 flight from Ostrava, Czech Republic to Jakarta.

Finally, Capt. Dr. Gema Goeyardi, Capt. Deddy Nugroho and AKBP Capt. Helmy Suyono alongside flight engineer Wijanarko successfully flew the aircraft with a registration of VP-BQY to Halim Perdanakusuma, Jakarta-Indonesia crossing Al Ain-Abu Dhabi with a flight time of 16 hours successfully.

Astro Jet did this service with hopes that in the future, this aircraft can properly support the National Police’s activities.  Our cooperation with the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Transportation, and the delivery team played a big role in our success in the procurement of this aircraft. It was an honor for Capt. Dr. Gema Goeyardi and Astro Jet to be part of this historic moment. We hope that in the future, Astro Jet will continue to be able to support the development of aviation in the world by providing affordable ferry flight services for civilian and military aircraft.
