Last evening on the South Ramp, there was a smart-looking DHC-6 from Aviastar Mandiri Indonesia. The tail was PK-xxx, with a silver/gray livery and a golden star on the tail. It was running both engines as we passed so I didn't get a chance for a photo. Not sure if they spent the night or were preparing for departure. *NOTE: A DHC-6 from Aviastar was reported to have run off the runway in Indonesia on 1/30/08 and hit a group of spectators.
*EDIT: Here's a photo from today. It was still on the ramp with an open door. PK-BRA
Looks like Aviastar (along with most other airlines from Indonesia) is on the EU blacklist - banned from operating in European airspace due to safety concerns. Nice Otter, though ....
