FlyJaya has taken delivery of two ATR72-500s from Jetcraft Commercial, taking the start-up one step closer to certification and eventual launch, currently planned for July 2025.
The lessor acquired the two units from Filipino operator Cebu Pacific Air and has since delivered them to the Indonesian regional carrier.
The ch-aviation fleets module shows that Cebu Pacific Air and its subsidiary Cebgo previously operated nine of the variant between 2008 and 2023. However, FlyJaya and Jetcraft Commercial did not immediately respond to queries from ch-aviation on the identities of the two aircraft or when they are expected to enter service.
Meanwhile, the airline has been advertising on social media in March 2025 for maintenance planners and engineers, as well as for a chief of technical services with a "deep understanding of ATR72 aircraft systems".
As ch-aviation previously reported, FlyJaya, which is still awaiting its Air Operator's Certificate (AOC), is not expected to begin scheduled operations until July 2025. The carrier plans to operate on the underserved route between Samarinda Tumenggung Pranoto and West Kutai (also known as Melalan Melak Airport). It is also mulling flights from Jakarta Halim to Balikpapan, Bandung, and Yogyakarta International.
