The first premium seaplane service for Indonesia

Our existing strategic partners range from selected luxury beach resorts, marinas and other waterfront locations, leading local brands, to tour operators and travel agents.
We are happy to explore new partnerships with individuals or companies with a keen interest in aviation and transportation, waterfront real estate, and luxury lifestyle in Indonesia. We also work with selected local, regional and global luxury travel agencies and would be happy to hear from you.
Market Opportunity
A large, and growing market covering domestic and foreign tourists, expats, business travelers, corporate, families and friends. Relevant segments include the ‘premium mass market’ as well as luxury. Santai Seaplane will offer a premium, seamless service at an accessible price. Seaplane services in other markets charge between $300-$700 USD per flying hour per passenger, which allows for healthy unit economics and margins.
Timeline
Our amphibious seaplane and air charter services commence in Q2 2026 from Bali and Banyuwangi, currently awaiting aircraft delivery and registration. Implementing a phased approach, and initially focused route network allows for a realistic execution, while ensuring commercial viability from an early phase.
Our Partners
Santai Seaplane is a subsidiary of Seaplane Asia Ltd. Hong Kong. Our sister companies are Siam Seaplane in Thailand and Samra Seaplane in Cambodia.
