Photo Comment

During it's 12 year of existence between 2001 and 2013, Batavia Air operated - among other types - not less than fourteen -300 Series B737's, among them PK-YVW pictured here in the airline's last but quite attractive livery. A few month after this picture was taken, Batavia filed for bankruptcy on January 31, 2013, grounding PK-YVW for good. Delivered new to USAir as N369AU in July of 1986, re-registered N397US in November of 1988, before Batavia bought it in August 2006. In December of 2016, this airframe was scrapped in Pontianak.
