  • Komodo Airport is connected to Denpasar (Bali), Ende, Kupang, Makassar, Mataram–Lombok, Maumere, Jakarta, Surabaya, Bima, Sumbawa, Balikpapan, Manado, Kendari and other cities.

Fly Comfortably ATR 72

Wings Air is preparing the ATR 72-500 and ATR 72-600, modern and newest aircraft delivered directly from aircraft manufacturers. Both have a seating capacity of 72 economy class, layout 2-2. Advantages of offering the latest experience for passengers, ATR 72 is known for its technologically advanced aircraft with a more pronounced level of comfort during flight because it is equipped with an interior that is designed more futuristic, can relax when in the cabin, can work or just enjoy the trip by looking at the scenery because the plane is able to fly low.

Fresh air quality is continuously supplied with a high level of cabin air volume update, so that the air cycle is guaranteed to be clean .The airflow from above (the cabin ceiling) moves one way down (the floor), which minimizes the movement of air forward and backward direction in the cabin (blown transversally and vertically). The air in the cabin will always be renewed within 5 to 7 minutes which ensures the air in the cabin remains fresh.

Wings Air maximizes various measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19, including regulating the process of entering and exiting passengers from aircraft in order to minimize overcrowding. On an ATR plane, enter and exit from the back door. This will minimize face-to-face interaction between passengers. The galley area located at the back also minimizes face-to-face interaction between passengers and cabin crew.

The aircraft cleaning process is carried out by a team of technicians and Aircraft Interior Exterior Cleaning (AIEC), including Aircraft Interior Cleaning (cleaning the inside of the aircraft) and Aircraft Exterior Cleaning (cleaning the outside of the aircraft).

Wings Air expresses its gratitude for the cooperation and coordination from internal, central and local governments, regulators, airport managers, AirNav Indonesia air traffic controllers and various other related parties in aviation operational cooperation. Hopefully, the synergy is able to support aviation services, so that Wings Air can reach and serve air transportation in intra-Flores island and intra-NTT.
