Established in 2002, Indonesian carrier Wings Air is the sister carrier of Lion Air (the country’s largest domestic carrier). Low-cost domestic airline Wings Air has recorded a string of incidents, including a pilot landing at the wrong airport and being shot at when flying over Papua New Guinea in 2024. One of its planes also collided with a Lion Air Boeing jet during a landing on the island of Sumatra, but there were no injuries.

Meanwhile, Lion Air, which has a two-star rating, has seen its fair share of tragedy. In 2018, one of its planes crashed into the Java Sea after take-off from Jakarta, killing all 189 people on board.
