The Indonesian presidential aircraft (Indonesian: Pesawat Kepresidenan Indonesia), also known as Indonesian Air Force Zero One with the serial number A-001 is the presidential aircraft carrying the president and vice president of Indonesia. The aircraft was designed to meet the minimum safety and security standards to support the VVIP air transportation needs of the Indonesian president,[1] and includes a modest self-defense system.[2]

The construction and modification of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft started in 2011.[1] It is based on the Boeing Business Jet 2 variant. The aircraft was completed in 2014 and arrived at Halim Perdanakusuma AFB in Jakarta on 10 April 2014.[3] The call sign of this aircraft is "Indonesia One", "Indonesian Air Force 01" or "IDAF01" with registration number "A-001".[4] The aircraft belongs to the Ministry of State Secretariat, operated by the Indonesian Air Force (TNI-AU),[5] and maintained by Garuda Maintenance Facility.[6][7] Beginning in 2020, the Indonesian government chartered a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, registration PK-GIG, from Garuda Indonesia for the president's use on long-haul flights.[8] When used to transport the president, the call sign of the 777 is "GIA1" or "Garuda Indonesia 1".
