The iconic chain of six bridges connecting Batam, Rempang, and Galang islands shortly after departure.
Sumatran Delta
Intricate aerial patterns of the mangrove forests and winding river systems along the South Sumatra coastline.
Musi River

West Java Volcanoes
On clear days, the silhouettes of Mount Salak and Mount Gede-Pangrango dominate the horizon during approach.
Jakarta Skyline
A sweeping view of the sprawling capital city and the industrial zones of Tangerang before landing.
