In 2022, Maya Watono was tasked by Indonesia’s government to help lead Aviasi Pariwisata Indonesia (Injourney)—then a newly-merged state-owned aviation and tourism company—in the post-pandemic era. In 2024—the same year Watono rose to be president director, making her the youngest female CEO in Indonesia's state-owned enterprises—the company reported a near-120% year-on-year increase in net profit. Before joining Injourney, Watono was the first, and youngest, female CEO to lead Dentsu Indonesia.
