BALI-based Indonesian airline PT Air Paradise International has sold 49 percent of its shares to an undisclosed Australian operator， a report said today.
Air Paradise had been servicing destinations in Australia， South Korea and Taiwan before it ceased operations on November 2005 due to a downturn in traffic following suicide bombings a month earlier on the resort island.
“The change of ownership composition is being processed for approval by the Justice and Human Rights Ministry，” Edi Wibowo， director for air transportation at the ministry， was quoted by Bisnis Indonesia as saying.
Mr Wibowo said the stake sale was in accordance with government regulations， which require that the ownership of a foreign party in a domestic airline is limited to 49 percent.
位于印尼巴厘岛的廉价航空公司天堂航空已将其49％的股权出售给澳洲公司。
天堂航空因受巴厘岛大爆炸事件冲击在2005年11月停止营业，在此之前，该公司已经开辟飞往澳洲、韩国和中国台湾的航班。
《印度尼西亚商报》援引负责航空业主管埃迪·维波兀的话说：“更换业主的手续已提交给司法与人权部批准。”但是他并未透露买家的名字。他同时表示交易符合政府关于国外公司不得控股国内航线股份超过49％的规定。
