Sumba’s Wings to Paradise - Empowering local women and helping her community thrive. 

Sumba, an island in eastern Indonesia, is renowned for its striking landscapes and rich cultural heritage. It has become a hotspot for tourists seeking unspoiled natural beauty and authentic experiences. The arrival of ATR turboprops through Wings Air has transformed how the island connects with the world, boosting its prospering tourism industry.
For Roswita Asti Kulla, the founder of Karaja Sumba, a social enterprise that focuses on empowering local women by teaching them the ancient art of ikat weaving, air travel has been transformative. By connecting her with customers beyond the shores of Sumba, air travel has opened up new markets for her traditional textiles, empowering local women and helping her community thrive.
