lion air

A sketchy ass airline that doesn’t train its pilots properly. Don’t fly them.
If you thought arendelle air was bad think again. At least they train their pilots properly unlike lion air. Sure arendelle flies a few older jets like IL-62s, 707s, DC-8s and DC-3s but they know how to fly the planes.
