Susi Air became a PC-6 operator In December 2007, with a total of 10 units delivered in the following years, the last in early 2014. Seven Susi Air Pilatus Porters remain in service and are still flying to remote airstrips in Papua as of December 2023. While two were lost during accidents, PK-BVY pictured here fell prey to OMF (Free Papua Movement) rebels on February 7, 2023. The pilot was taken hostage and the 2010 built airplane set on fire, and completely destroyed in due course.
