Founded in 2004 and started operations in 2008, the airline started operation just one month after the demise of Adam Air, which was heavily embroiled in corruption and safety violation which caused financial problems and ceased operation on that year from many accidents or incidents. Linus officially started operation from Jakarta to Batam in July 2008.
The airline was on the List of air carriers banned in the European Union. Linus Airways is not listed in any category by the Indonesian Civil Aviation Authority for airline safety quality, because this airline is not operating for longer.[1]
In May 2009, the airline decided to suspend all of its operations due to financial problems.[2]
