Indonesian domestic airline Batavia Air ceased flying Thursday after a court ruled in favour of a bankruptcy petition against it, a company spokesman said.
"Following the bankruptcy ruling, we regret to announce that Batavia Air has ceased operations starting Jan 31, 2013," Elly Simanjuntak said.
United States-based International Lease Finance Corporation filed the petition after Batavia failed to pay 4.68 million US dollars for the lease of several Airbus A330s by Dec 13 as agreed.
