History
GT Air was established in 1998.[3] Its official name is Germania Trisila Air.[4] From November 2004[5] to mid-2006,[6] GT Air operated scheduled flights between Denpasar (Bali) and Lombok.
In 2006, a DHC-6 Twin Otter was chartered to transport aid workers to Aceh and North Sumatra provinces in the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.[7] In July 2007, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation revoked the air operator's certificate of Germania Trisila Air, along with another eight Indonesian airlines, citing safety concerns.[8]
In 2019 the airline was rebranded as Asian One Air.[2]
As of July 2025, the airline currently serves pioneer flights from its base in Timika to other cities including Kaimana, Fakfak, Babo, Kenyam, Paro and others.
