Biography



Susi Pudjiastuti

Dr. (HC) Susi Pudjiastuti (born in Pangandaran, 15 January 1965; age 54 years)  is a Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries from the 2014-2019 Working Cabinet who is also a business owner and President Director of PT ASI Pudjiastuti Marine Product, an exporter of fishery products and PT ASI Pudjiastuti Aviation or Susi Air flights from West Java . Until the beginning of 2012, Susi Air operated 50 aircraft with various types such as 32 Cessna Grand Caravan, 9 Pilatus PC-6 Porters and 3 Piaggio P180 Avanti. Susi Air employs 185 pilots, of which 175 are foreign pilots. In 2012 Susi Air received Rp300 billion in revenue and served 200 pioneering flights. 

When he was Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, he was known for his strict policies towards illegal fishing. His name is even associated with the word "sink" which refers to the penalty of sinking illegal foreign ships in Indonesian waters.These efforts ultimately paid off; research published in the journal Nature shows that Susi's aggressive policy towards illegal fishing has reduced fishing efforts by 25% and has the potential to increase catches by 14% and profits by 12%. 
In 1983 Pudjiastuti embarked on a career as an entrepreneur, starting as a seafooddistributor at a Fish Auction Facility (TPI) in Pangandaran.[11] Her distributorship evolved into a seafood processing plant in 1996 named PT ASI Pudjiastuti Marine Product which specialized in export-quality lobster packaged as "Susi Brand." [12] PT ASI Pudjiastuti Marine Product expanded and began exporting its products to asia and America.[13]
The growing demand for PT ASI Pudjiastuti Marine Product's fresh seafood lead to rapid air transport as a necessity for the business. In 2004, Pudjiastuti acquired a Cessna 208 Caravan and established PT ASI Pudjiastuti Aviation. The Cessna was given the call-sign "Susi Air" and was used to transport fresh Indonesian seafood to Jakarta as well as overseas to Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan.[14]

During the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami which devastated Aceh and the west coast of sumatra, Susi Air, which at the time only consisted of two Cessna Grand Caravans, was one of the first responders which distributed food and supplies to victims in isolated areas of the disaster. During this period, Susi Air was routinely chartered in Aceh by NGO for humanitarian relief missions. The revenues earned from the NGO Aceh missions enabled Susi Air to acquire new airplanes and expand its fleet to routes in papua and kalimanatn. Susi Air is now the largest operator of Cessna Grand Caravans in the Asia Pacific region [15]
