:airplane_departure: Aircraft Types Used (from those available in WoA)
(For this airline, most types are already available in WoA.)

Aircraft operated (already in-game/planned):

ATR-42 (-300, -300QC, -320, -500, AT43/AT43F/AT45) - 5 operating, 10 former.
(7/1/4/3 for each variant, respectively.)
Current active aircraft types from those listed: ATR-42-300 (2), ATR-42-300QC (1), ATR-42-320 (1), ATR-42-500 (1)
(Pictured below: ATR-42-300 PK-YSJ)

Here’s an example of their classic, or possibly first, livery:
(Pictured below: ATR 42-300 PK-YRK - later broken up)

Here’s what seems to be a ‘hybrid’ livery between the classic and current livery:
(Pictured below: ATR-42-300 PK-YSJ - again)

Unfortunately, the -300QC doesn’t appear to have any media, at least any that I could find - a bit surprising honestly, given records indicate it’s been with the airline for over 10 years. Regardless though, if you find any media of it, then I’d really appreciate if you replied with it attached.

Now, as for the -320s, the modern livery doesn’t seem to have been documented on the type:
(Pictured below: ATR-42-320 PK-YRV - later scrapped)

However, what the -320s do have is this interesting, ‘hybrid’ livery of sorts - for context, this aircraft is operated for the Indonesian Directorate General of Marine and Fisheries Resources Surveillance (also known as the PSDKP), at least according to current records:
(Pictured below: ATR-42-320 PK-YRE)

And, just for the record, here are some variants of that livery, such as this one with just the lower fuselage blue and aft operator titles:
(Pictured below: Ditto, same aircraft as above)

This photo appears to have been taken last year in June, so not sure if that means the aircraft has had its PSDKP livery from above removed since, or what the aircraft looks like now, but regardless - it’s just there for the record.

And furthermore, here’s that same airframe in the early stages of being painted in the PSDKP livery, captured in December 2023:
(Pictured below: I think you get the idea by now)

Anyways, I believe that should cover all of the liveries for the -320. But before I move on, something to note:
This airline had an ATR-42-320F (converted) known as PK-YRP (which was unfortunately later involved in a crash, thankfully a non-fatal one).
It did indeed serve prior operators in cargo roles, but when it came to Trigana, the aircraft appeared to have been operated in a typical passenger configuration with no records or media to prove otherwise.
I’ve decided not to include it here because it’s virtually no different from the ATR-42-320s covered above, yet I just wanted to point that out, as some sources (like Planespotters) indicate the plane being a freighter.
I’m also unsure if it would be added in spite of that, given it was the only example of the type, and it happened to be involved in an accident; a non-fatal one sure, but an accident resulting in the aircraft’s write-off nonetheless.

Anyways though, moving on to the -500:
(Pictured below: ATR-42-500 PK-YSP - later written off)

Here’s a -500 in a hybrid livery, bearing the colors from another Indonesian airline, Gatari Air Service, whom Trigana acquired this aircraft from for a few months:
(Pictured below: ATR-42-500 PK-HNT - later broken up)

Now, I believe that should cover the ATR-42s. As for the next aircraft:

ATR-72 (-500, AT75) - 2 operating.
(Pictured below: PK-YSK)

Here’s another hybrid (or just mostly bare white) livery example, similar to PK-YSJ shown above:
(Pictured below: PK-YSL)

Something I’d like to note is that these are not the only ATR-72s Trigana operated, but the others are ATR-72-200/AT72s, which of course are not in-game as of now; they will be included in the ‘aircraft not in-game’ portion.
Anyways, moving to the next type:

Boeing 737 (-200 Adv, -300, -300BDSF, -300QC, -300SF, -400, -500, B732/B733/B734/B735) - 9 operating, 9 former.
(4/3/1/1/7/1/1 for each variant, respectively.)
Current active aircraft types from those listed: Boeing 737-300 (2), Boeing 737-300BDSF (1), Boeing 737-300QC (1), Boeing 737-300SF (4), Boeing 737-500 (1)
(Pictured below: Boeing 737-200 Adv PK-YRT - stored)

Here’s a variant of that livery without the lower fuselage coloring:
(Pictured below: Boeing 737-200 Adv PK-YSD - derelict)

Beyond those two liveries, no 737-200s appear to have worn the modern, present-day livery, so moving onto the -300s:
(Pictured below: Boeing 737-300 PK-YRA - stored)

Here’s an example of the classic livery once again:
(Pictured below: Boeing 737-300 PK-YSH)

And here’s a version of the livery with the modern tail insignia and typography, but oddly enough no fuselage or engine paint:
(Pictured below: Boeing 737-300 PK-YRA - again)

Now there’s a fair reason for this; the aircraft above was operated for another airline, JNE Express, as a “Preighter” aircraft - as a matter of fact, a few examples of Trigana’s 737s were operated as Preighters, and they weren’t exactly fully converted freighters from what it seems.
Back to JNE though, the collaboration between Trigana and JNE created this pretty cool hybrid livery:
(Pictured below: Ditto, same aircraft as above)

Another one of their Preighter aircraft found its new role when it was operated on behalf of J&T Express, as part of a mutual agreement of sorts, which in turn created this other hybrid livery:
(Pictured below: Boeing 737-300 PK-YSH - again)

And finally, like the two examples above, this next 737 also found its use as a Preighter, operating on behalf of another airline - this one being Ninja Xpress. At first, the aircraft just had a little decal of Ninja Xpress just below the cockpit, from around September 2021 to December 2022, shown here:
(Pictured below: Boeing 737-300 PK-YRD)

Later on, the aircraft got a more detailed hybrid livery, displayed in this picture from June 2024:
(Pictured below: Ditto, same aircraft as above)

Anyways, now that should cover the base 737-300s, so let’s look at the other variants:
(Pictured below: Boeing 737-300BDSF PK-YSG)

(Pictured below: Boeing 737-300QC PK-YSV)

Interestingly, earlier in its life with Trigana, PK-YSV had an ex-Serve Air Cargo livery, shown here:
(Pictured below: Ditto, same aircraft as above)

Next up, the -300SFs:
(Pictured below: Boeing 737-300SF PK-YSN)

Now, another example of the classic livery:
(Pictured below: Boeing 737-300SF PK-YSZ)

Like PK-YSV above, PK-YSN also originated from Serve Air Cargo, and its old colors were visible in this picture here:
(Pictured below: Ditto, same aircraft as above)

Here’s a basic all-white livery, with the bare scheme being a trait of a prior airline, known as Africa Charter Airline (yes that is what it is called):
(Pictured below: Boeing 737-300SF PK-YST)

And finally, here’s another notable livery example, this one showing a half-painted -300SF:
(Pictured below: Boeing 737-300SF PK-YSW)

This aircraft’s general lack of painting or much of a color scheme likely stems from the fact that it was acquired relatively recently. Planespotters lists that the aircraft was acquired by Trigana in late December of 2025 - specifically December 24th - and entered service soon after, on December 28th. The picture was taken a few months back in May, and is currently the most recent one, so I have no idea how the aircraft looks now.

But anyways though, that should cover all the -300s and their various liveries, so let’s move onto the other 737s:
(Pictured below: Boeing 737-400 PK-YSF - later written off)

Unfortunately, Trigana’s only example of the 737-400 was lost in a landing incident, yet fortunately a non-fatal one, similarly to the case of PK-YRP covered above - however, it still resulted in a write-off.
Whether or not it could be added with the rest of Trigana is up to the developers, of course, but I’ll detail what I can in the event that it can be - I just wanted to be clear about this aircraft’s history.

Anyways, with that aside, here’s the classic livery:
(Pictured below: Ditto, same aircraft as above)

Now, here’s the modern livery, with the addition of an insignia under the cockpit windows that I can’t quite identify. If you have any context or find out what it is, I’d appreciate it if you let me know in a reply. But anyways, here’s what I’m talking about:
(Pictured below: I think you get the idea by now)

Now, I believe that should cover all the liveries associated with their 737-400. Next up is the final type of the 737 family:
(Pictured below: Boeing 737-500 PK-YSC)

Now, interestingly, Planespotters lists that this aircraft is configured for cargo, though it doesn’t appear to be converted - maybe another Preighter? Kind of confusing, and I’m honestly not sure about it.

But anyways, that should cover all the 737s. Here’s the next type:

De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter (-100, -300, DHC6) - 10 former.
(2/8 for both variants.)
(Pictured below: De Havilland DHC-6-100 Twin Otter PK-NUA - later written off, known as PK-YPG at end of its life)

It seems as if both DHC-6-100s were written off, but information is very scarce about what happened. While PK-NUA above (later known as PK-YPG, still under Trigana) was involved in a non-fatal accident, the other DHC-6, PK-YNM, appears to have been involved in a fatal accident.
Now, as with the ATR-42-320F and 737-400 situations, it’s up to the developers if they wish to implement these aircraft with their history - they are only being documented here just for transparency’s sake.

Anyways, here’s the -300s:
(Pictured below: De Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter PK-YPX - stored)

Here’s the classic livery:
(Pictured below: De Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter PK-YRF - now known as 8Q-ISH)

Interestingly, some of their -300s had nose art, such as this example:
(Pictured below: De Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter PK-YPX - again)

There was also this example, this one depicting an eagle or hawk(?) of some kind:
(Pictured below: De Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter PK-YRU - now known as PK-SMS)

And I believe that should be it for the DHC6s. As for the next type:

Aircraft operated (not in-game):

ATR-72 [cont.] (-200, AT72) - 3 former.
(Pictured below: PK-YRX - later scrapped)

And of course, here’s an example of the classic livery on this type:
(Pictured below: Ditto, same aircraft as above)

Next up:

Cessna 206 Super Skywagon (TU206D, T206) - 1 former.
(Pictured below: PK-YRC - status unknown)

De Havilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou (-4A, C-7A, DHC4) - 2 former.
(Pictured below: De Havilland Canada DHC-4A Caribou PK-YRO - later written off)

Here’s the other DHC-4, with a little hump on its nose (probably because it was a former C-7):
(Pictured below: De Havilland Canada C-7A Caribou PK-YRJ - status unknown)

I feel like this is one of the first suggestions to have a DHC-4 in it. I think they look a bit odd, to be honest… oh well though, anyways:

Dornier 328 (-110, D328) - 1 former.
(Pictured below: PK-RAW - now known as N90YP)

And finally, the last aircraft type: (that I could find at least lol)

Fokker F27 Friendship (-500, F27) - exact number of aircraft operated not available/not clear.
(Pictured below: PK-YRA - later scrapped)

Note that this photo appears to have been taken several years before the current PK-YRA came to be, so I am assuming that the aircraft was scrapped (sources vary on it).

:pushpin: Why should this airline be added?
I’d say this airline should be added primarily because of the decent variety of aircraft types it has, and its status as an existing operator, making it freely accessible to anyone who wishes to see this airline at their airports.
A-class aircraft like the DHC6 are next to unheard of in Asia, especially in the Indonesian region, and this airline would also add quite a bit more content for existing niche types like the AT43, AT45 and AT75. The variety of 737s also would definitely help this airline out whenever the 737 remodels are released, as this aircraft has quite a lot to offer for the family.

On the topic of that last bit, the airline has quite a lot of liveries and variations, especially some I think would be perfect for events. Special contracts I’m not so sure about, given how this airline in reality only really operates across Indonesia. Maybe if something like CGK is added then we could see it there? We can only speculate…

Well, anyways, I’d say this airline should be added because of the fact it adds more variety to Asia through lots of standard contract material, has the potential for some really unique events in the region, and can be paired with the 737 remodels’ release. It also adds to niche types that have very few liveries and/or are very rare in the region, such as the AT43, AT45, AT75 and DHC6 mentioned before, and it would, in general, be a really neat addition to see represented in-game, and would definitely work to diversify the airlines players can see around Asia.
