Partono

Capt. Partono Parwitokusumo was one of the first Indonesian-national captain pilots of the airline Garuda Indonesia, and later served as President Director of Garuda Indonesia from 1961 to 1965. He also served as Minister of Air Communications in the Dwikora I Cabinet and the Improved Dwikora Cabinet, from 2 April 1965 to 28 March 1966, owing to his courage in taking the risk of flying the presidential entourage on the Tokyo–Biak route on 20 January 1965 without prior preparation.
