Anyone know what this small indonesian carrier is doing nowadays? Has it still got any planes? Or has it disappeared?

Here's the story of Jatayu... almost went under a few times...
1. They started with 1 732 doing CGK-JOG-DPS, but they didn't have enough money to build the market in competition to Garuda (who didn't even have to lower the price).... so it got into financial difficulties... then...
2. A new owner took over and shut the airline down for a few weeks...
3. The new owner repositioned the airline to be based in Medan... and struggled to compete as the price war started...
4. The airline had a capital injection into it, and leased a 722...
5. They realised they've been conned on the 1st 722 when they got the 2nd one, and the 722 couldn't fly to smaller fields...
6. Now they have 3 732s to augment the 722s and has managed to stay on to the market...
There you go... the Jatayu story
