Merpati (Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta) is to be privatized after its owner, the Indonesian government, was unable to find a way to restructure the struggling carrier's debt. Indonesian Minister for State-Owned Enterprises, Mr. Dahlan Iskan, said investors interested in buying the airline should submit their proposals to his ministry within the next two months. However, he added, in the event that that fails, other options to stave off impending liquidation could include a restructuring of the airline's business operations in which it would refocus its attention on the MRO sector. Merpati is mired in USD462million (IDR6trillion) of debt owed to various state companies including oil firm PT Pertamina, airport operators PT Angkasa Pura I and PT Angkasa Pura II, and asset management firm, PT Perusahaan Pengelola Aset (PPA).
