History

In its original plan, NAM Air had been projected as a full-service airline carrier to compete with Garuda Indonesia and Lion Air's full-service arm, Space Jet Aviation, later renamed Batik Air. This plan was scrapped and changed to a feeder for Sriwijaya Air having the same scheme as what Lion Air with its Wings Air has currently, and, in the 1990s, Garuda Indonesia with Merpati. Sriwijaya Air serves main routes, while NAM Air serves its secondary routes.[2]

On 26 September 2013, NAM Air was officially introduced as a subsidiary of Sriwijaya Air planned on having its first flight in October 2013; a plan later postponed because AOC had not been issued by the Indonesia Ministry of Transportation. NAM Air acquired its AOC on 29 November 2013 and flew its maiden flight from Jakarta to Pangkal Pinang on 11 December 2013.[3] First commercial flight later follows from Jakarta to Pontianak, and Pontianak to Yogyakarta on 19 December 2013.[4]

On 26 September 2013, its parent company Sriwijaya Air announces for purchasing up to 100 R-80 regional planes for its future operations.

NAM Air is named after Chandra Lie's father, Lo Kui Nam.[5] The NAM acronym has also been used by other Sriwijaya Air group of companies: National Aviation Management (Flying School-better known as NAM Flying School), National Aircrew Management (Cabin Crew Training Center), National Aircraft Maintenance (Aircraft Maintenance)and Negeri Aksara Mandiri (In-flight Magazine).

NAM Air is the first and only airline in Indonesia that allows female flight attendants to wear hijab in all regular flights, followed by its parent company, Sriwijaya Air, in November 2015. This has made them to become a few of those airlines to do so in Southeast Asia alongside Royal Brunei Airlines. Other airlines in Indonesia only allow their female flight attendants to use hijab when flying Hajj/Umra flights or flights to Middle East especially to Saudi Arabia.[6]

NAM Air was banned from operating in European airspace, appearing on a list of carriers that did not meet necessary safety standards to fly to airports in the European Union.[7][8] It was removed from the blacklist, along with every other Indonesian airline in June 2018.[9]
