JAKARTA/SINGAPORE—Indonesia’s Lion Air has begun preliminary work on an initial public offering (IPO) that has been delayed multiple times over the past five years, sources familiar with the matter said.

A decision on the IPO will only be made after Indonesian investigators release a final report on the crash of Lion Air’s Boeing 737 MAX jet that killed 189 people on board last October, and after feedback from potential investors, two sources said.
