PN Merpati Nusantara was established in 1962 by the government of the Republic of Indonesia. The decision behind establishing this airline was to supply regional air transportation within Indonesia.

In August 1996 Merpati in connection with Garuda Indonesia launched an international route Jakarta to Melbourne. Considering the development, the government decided PT Merpati Nusantara Airlines would become an independent airline from Garuda Indonesia. This happened in April 1997.

Today as a state company, Merpati is optimising its core business as "commercial air transportation". With a sound domestic Indonesia flight schedule, Merpati mission is to become the most preferred airline in Indonesia.
