Indonesian low-cost carrier Lion Air announced that they are applying for a new AOC (Air Operator Certificate) for a full-service airline venture. The new airline is looking at a November 2012 launch with its own name and branding. The new venture is slated to use Lion's 737-9GPERs. Lion Air is a frequent visitor to HNL, with their 737-9GPERs delivering through HNL, as seen above with PK-LHP.

Hopefully "full service" from Lion will include not running of the runway ever couple of months and enough leg room to not touch the seat in front of you before it's reclined. They're not a very good airline.
