Alda Air was founded in 2013 and received the indonesian DGCA Air Operations Certificate (AOC) in May 2015. It currently operates three Cessna 208B Grand Caravans, among them 2017 built PK-DLT which joined Alda Air in January 2018. The other two Caravans are PK-DLA (c/n 208B5006) and PK-DLY (c/n 208B5169). Being able to transport 9 passengers or some 1200 kg of freight, Grand Caravans are popular in Papua, despite being unable to serve many of the 400+ airstrips accross the vast countryside.
