# An In-Depth Look at Batik Air and Current Flight Attendant Recruitment Opportunities
Batik Air, established in 2013 as a premium full-service subsidiary of the Lion Air Group, has significantly shaped the Indonesian aviation landscape. Founded by Rusdi Kirana, the airline launched its inaugural service on May 3, 2013, connecting Jakarta with Manado and Balikpapan. Originally conceived to manage the high volume of aircraft orders placed by its parent company, Lion Air, Batik Air has evolved into a key player in the mid-range aviation market. While the airline once explored long-haul international expansion with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, it ultimately pivoted its strategic focus toward medium-range operations, prioritizing the versatile Boeing 737 series to maintain operational efficiency and service excellence.
