Incidents and accidents
- On 4 January 2005, while carrying out a relief operation to the tsunami-stricken area of Banda Aceh, a Boeing 737-2A9C (PK-YGM) struck a water buffalo that had entered the runway just as it was making its landing at Sultan Iskandarmuda Airport (Banda Aceh). This resulted in the main gear on the port side collapsing which damaged the gear and port engine. There were no injuries and the aircraft was declared a write-off and scrapped several months later.[7]
- On 18 July 2017, a Boeing 737-300F registered as PK-YGG bounced and slid off from Runway 15 of Wamena Airport, Wamena. Although no one was killed or injured in the incident, the incident caused substantial damage on the plane.[8]
