Winning is an amazing feeling. You dont get that in business; you dont get that in many things.

In Europe, they travel a lot lighter. I always joke that my Indonesian passengers bring their house and their neighbors house.

Aviation is for the common man. My goal is to enable everyone to fly. It shouldnt be only for the rich.

Ive lived in Jakarta and have seen a lot more by living here, and I understand that theres so much more to Indonesia than just Bali and Jakarta.

The passengers were on my aircraft, and I have to take responsibility for that.

Airlines are one of the last things to be liberalized.

I look for people who have drive, who have ambition, who are humble. Ive hired many people at very strange places.
