Published: 8:29am, 12 Dec, 2018 Updated: 9:38pm, 12 Dec, 2018 Lion Air, Indonesia’s biggest airline, is reportedly preparing to cancel its outstanding orders for Boeing 737 planes following what co-founder Rusdi Kirana called the US manufacturer's "very inappropriate" response to a deadly Lion Air crash in October. The Indonesian airline said it was "disappointed" by Boeing's decision not to sell any of its new aircraft until safety issues were resolved, Reuters reported. Analysts have said Kirana's plans to cancel the plan orders are at odds with his ambition to expand the Lion Air fleet to 1,000 aircraft.
