Celebrating 90 Years KLM in Indonesia

KLM Looks Back at Milestones in Indonesian Aviation History

KLM Indonesia is celebrating their 90th anniversary this year, whilst KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, is celebrating their 95th anniversary, on 7th October. This makes KLM the oldest airline in the world operating under its original name. Upon taking a stroll down the history, KLM’s first intercontinental long-haul flight with Fokker F-VII Amsterdam - Jakarta took place in 1924, KLM initiated its first intercontinental flight from Amsterdam to Batavia (Colonial Jakarta) by Fokker F-VII.  Since then, the airline company has grown by leaps and bounds and in 2004 merged with Air France.

Duncan Rutgers, Country Manager of AIR FRANCE KLM Indonesia reveals: “We have been playing a significant role in the aviation industry, especially in Indonesia. We will continue to do so in the years to come. We believe in our strengths and strong identity. Constantly we come up with new ideas in order to offer our customers the best possible products and services. The partnership with Air France and cooperation with our other partners is part of our successes. We face 2014 and the many years to come with full of confidence.  In 2019 we will celebrating our 100th anniversary, by which time we hope to be even stronger and more vital than ever.”

KLM Indonesia offers daily evening flights from Jakarta and from Denpasar.  The flights from Jakarta stops over in Kuala Lumpur on the way to Amsterdam, while the daily flights from Denpasar-Amsterdam has a stop over in Singapore.

While responding to the market demand in Indonesia, Air France also now serves daily flights Jakarta - Paris Charles de Gaulle via Singapore. The company’s goal is to provide convenience to the passengers with night flights from Jakarta to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, Jakarta to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.  Both airports have excellent connections to the rest of the European cities and beyond.

Investasi Online

PERPUTARAN uang di dunia maya sangat cepat dan besar, jadi wajar jika banyak orang tertarik terjun ke bisnis online ini. Dunia maya, di satu sisi, memberi nilai positif bagi masyarakat, tapi di sisi lain dimanfaatkan pihak-pihak yang tidak bertanggung jawab untuk mengeruk keuntungan semata, bahkan melakukan penipuan.

Yang jelas, berinvestasi tentu untuk mendapatkan keuntungan, begitulah harapan investasi sebenarnya. Investasi online banyak  menawarkan kemudahan dan keuntungan dari kecil sampai besar. Internet adalah salah satu media penghubungnya, tanpa dibatasi ruang dan waktu.

Yup, tak ada salahnya berinvestasi di dunia maya, namun menurut para ahli, prinsip kehati-hatian harus diutamakan. Yang pertama-tama adalah memastikan adanya bisnis yang ditawarkan, harus riil, bukan sekadar konsep. Kedua, kalau investasi tersebut menjanjikan ketuntungan yang tak wajar, sudah dipastikan bahwa itu investasi abal-abal.

Investasi online yang aman dan diatur biasanya oleh peraturan pemerintah. Contohnya, online trading, yang sebenarnya sama dengan yang dilakukan di dunia nyata, hanya berbeda platformnya untuk memberi kemudahan bagi nasabahnya.

Sementara money game, misalnya, menurut financial advisor Aidil Akbar, dapat dikategorikan sebagai investasi abal-abal. Ironisnya, investasi ini diciptakan memang untuk menghanguskan uang orang-orang yang tertarik bermain di dalamnya. Bisnis ini menawarkan keuntungan yang luar biasa tinggi. Namun, kalau ditelaah lebih jauh, ini bukanlah produk investasi, dan tidak ada nilai bisnisnya sama sekali, bahkan tak ada regulasi yang mengaturnya.

Bijak Berinvestasi

Well, investasi online memberikan manfaat besar bagi kita untuk meraup keuntungan sebesar-besarnya, namun bagaimana kita menyikapi investasi online ini agar investasi tersebut bisa aman dan sesuai dengan yang kita harapkan.

Seorang ahli keuangan memberikan tip “5 Cara Bijak dan Aman dalam Investasi Online”, yakni: 1) Kenali perusahaan investasinya, 2) Kenali produknya, 3) pahami risikonya, 4) Investasi dengan bijak, dan 5) Perhatikan keamanannya.

Dian Ramadhan dari Bisnisindeks.com menyatakan tak ada salahnya berinvestasi melalui online. Namun kehati-hatian tetap mesti diutamakan. Yang harus diperhatikan dalam berinvestasi melalui online atau media sosial adalah memastikan adanya bisnis yang ditawarkan.

Menanam uang pada usaha seseorang, menurut Dian, terlihat lebih sederhana dan tidak rumit. Hanya dibutuhkan kesepakatan di antara dua pihak. Memang, sebelum mengikat perjanjian, yang harus diperhatikan adalah moralitas si mitra. Mengumpulkan banyak info tentang orang tersebut adalah hal yang mutlak harus dilakukan sebelum menanam uang.

“Maka, bila di socmed dia kelihatan hebat, kita tidak perlu langsung percaya, karena harus ada dasar kepercayaan, dan moralitasnya diketahui terlebih dulu. Jangan hanya terpaku pada jumlah follower-nya yang ratusan ribu atau jutaan,” ujar penulis S.O.S Bisnis itu.

Berinvestasi antar-personal memang dapat lebih mendekatkan seseorang dengan proses bisnis yang berjalan. Jadi alangkah baiknya bila investor bisa terlibat dalam bisnis itu sendiri sehingga secara langsung dapat melihat usaha yang dijalankan, dan melakukan pengawasan agar tidak tertipu. Maka orang yang menginvestasikan uangnya dapat melihat barang atau produksi yang menjadi bisnisnya, ketersediaan barang yang akan dilempar, dan pendistribusiannya ke pasar.

“Kita bisa melihat pula pengeluaran per bulan, pemasukan per bulan uang yang ditanam. Jadi jangan sampai investasi yang ada untuk menutupi pengeluaran mereka,” kata Dian, yang memiliki perusahaan jasa keuangan.

PENFOLDS

PENFOLDS is an Australian wine producer that was founded in Adelaide in 1844 by Christopher Rawson Penfold, an English physician who emigrated to Australia, and his wife Mary Penfold. It is one of Australia's oldest wineries, and is currently part of Treasury Wine Estates.

1844 To Evermore!

Penfolds is one of Australia’s oldest and most iconic wineries, with a history and heritage that reflects the country’s journey from colonial settlement to the modern era. Penfolds has played a pivotal role in the evolution of winemaking in Australia – and across the world.

The Colonial Period  (1844 – 1899)

Penfolds was founded in 1844 by Dr Christopher Rawson and Mary Penfold. English immigrants, they arrived in Adelaide only eight years after it was founded as South Australia’s capital. After purchasing the ‘delightfully situated and truly valuable estate’ at Magill on the slopes of the Adelaide Hills, they planted a vineyard and established a medical surgery in the newly built stone cottage ‘The Grange’. Already wine was considered by colonial practitioners as a healthy drink. Penfolds tonic wines became so popular that a thriving wine business was soon established.

By 1881 Penfolds was producing one third of South Australia’s wine production. During the turn-of-thecentury Penfolds wines reached some of the furthest corners of the British Empire. It became Australia’s largest producer of fortified wines by the time of Australia’s Federation in 1901.

Although Dr Christopher Penfold is recorded as the founder of Penfolds, he was busy building a medical practice and prescribing Penfolds wine as tonics to his patients. It was predominantly his wife Mary who managed the vineyard, made the wine and established a thriving wine business. She was one of Australia’s first and most successful business women.

The memory of Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold is immortalised in the Penfolds name. The remnants of the Grange vineyard at Magill Estate still stand, centred on the historic Grange Cottage, with superb sweeping views across the modern city of Adelaide, South Australia.

The Empire Period (1900–1945)

During the empire period, Penfolds expanded its vineyards and became a household name across Australia. It exported table and fortified wines to the British Empire and its outposts.

Max Schubert – a then young inquisitive winemaker – travelled to Europe after World War II to investigate winemaking where he dreamed of making wines that would capture the imagination of wine drinkers the world over. The mission was to learn about sherry production but a side trip to Bordeaux led to the extraordinary development of Penfolds Grange and the commercialisation of dry red table wines.

The Dynastic Period (1945–1989)

The birth of Grange in 1951 lead to a remarkable collection of wines that bought Penfolds worldwide recognition for their signature style, consistency and longevity. By the early 1960s Schubert oversaw the creation of ‘a dynasty of wines which may differ in character from year to year, but all bear an unmistakable resemblance and relationship to each other’. Bin 128, Bin 389 and Bin 707 and St Henri were all commercialised during this period. This signature method of winemaking, developed and refined over decades, is known as the ‘Penfolds House Style’ and is still practiced today. Under the successive chief winemakers, Don Ditter, John Duval and Peter Gago, the Penfolds collection of wines has remained true to the original blueprint.

The Modern Era (1990S – Today)

During the 1990s an unprecedented number of new styles were introduced to the Penfolds collection. This was also a period of intense winemaking trials and commercial opportunity. The ‘white Grange’ project spawned the creation of Bin 144 Yattarna Chardonnay in 1995 (released in 1998). Wine trials, including the ‘experimental/homage’ Special Bin releases of 1990 Bin 90A, 1990 Bin 920 and 1996 Block 42, also led to the launch of RWT Shiraz, an ultra-fine Penfolds Barossa Shiraz, matured in French oak.

During the 1990s, Penfolds introduced the Re-corking Clinics, a unique and revolutionary after-sales service, where wine collectors can have their aged wines – particularly Grange – assessed, re-corked, topped up and re-capsuled. Today, more than 120,000 bottles have been ‘cliniced and certified’ throughout Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Europe, the Americas and Asia. Penfolds also celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of Grange in 2001 and in a remarkable gesture, the National Trust of South Australia, listed Grange as a Heritage icon.

The 2000s saw an expansion and consolidation of the Penfolds wine portfolio, to meet the needs and interests of a global premium wine brand. The range today reflects Max Schubert’s ambitions of a dynasty of wine without compromise.

Penfolds received a long line of awards and accolades during the 2000s. In 2005 the US Wine Enthusiast magazine named Peter Gago its ‘Winemaker of the Year’ and in the same year Langton’s Classification of Australian Wine, led by Grange, recognised the history and popularity of the company’s core range of fine wines.

In more recent times 2008 Grange received a perfect score of 100 points by two of the world’s most influential wine publications, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator magazine. In 2011 Penfolds Reserve Bin 09A Chardonnay won the International Wine Challenge Champion White Wine award. In 2013 the prestigious Wine and Spirits magazine included Penfolds as a ‘top winery of the year’, for the twenty-third consecutive year - more than any other winery in the world.

Continuing a tradition of innovation and experimentation, in 2012, Penfolds launched its highly ambitious ‘Ampoule Project’, a limited-release offering of twelve hand-blown glass ampoules, containing the celebrated 2004 Block 42 Cabernet Sauvignon. The Ampoules attracted worldwide attention and a little controversy. Pushing the boundaries of contemporary winemaking for the sake of improvement is a longstanding Penfolds tradition. Penfolds enjoys a unique Australian heritage; its wines evoke an ageless generosity of spirit, craftsmanship and the beauty of the Australian landscape.

As Chief Winemaker Peter Gago says; ‘the wine always come first’. It is this enduring principle and generosity of spirit, handed down by generations of winemakers, in the vineyards, the wineries and the markets, that gives Penfolds wines a unique and timeless quality.
