Metro Batavia, operating under the brand Batavia Air, was an Indonesian private airline that served domestic and international routes across Southeast Asia. Founded in the early 2000s, it grew to become one of Indonesia's mid-sized carriers before ceasing operations. The airline operated scheduled passenger services from its primary base at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, offering connections to numerous Indonesian cities as well as regional international destinations. It was known for competitive pricing in the Indonesian aviation market. Batavia Air ceased operations in January 2013 after a court-ordered bankruptcy filing, following financial difficulties that left the airline unable to continue services. Its collapse was one of the notable airline failures in Indonesian aviation history.
