with respect to Indonesia's maximum allowable age for Passenger Aircraft within Indonesia.

Advertising shows them using a Boeing 737-200 on the Perth/Denpasar Route. When they were in the process of setting-up their now defunct "All Business Class Airline - at Economy Class Prices" couple of years ago to ply Australia's East Coast, there was lots of negative publicity about the age of their fleet even then.

I believe that Indonesia still imposes a maximum age of 20 Years and the B737-200 is a very old model in the 737 Range. Last month I flew in a new Lion Air B737-900ER.
