PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia, operating as InJourney Airports, has announced a significant 50 percent reduction in airport service fees for the upcoming 2025-2026 Christmas and New Year (Nataru) travel season. This strategic move, effective across 37 airports nationwide, aims to substantially increase public mobility and encourage air travel during the peak holiday period. The initiative directly responds to a directive from the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation, signaling a concerted effort to stimulate the domestic aviation sector.
The core of this policy involves a 50 percent cut in the Passenger Service Charge (PSC), a component of the total airfare paid by travelers. InJourney Airports President Director Mohammad R. Pahlevi emphasized that this reduction will directly lower ticket prices, making air travel a more attractive and accessible option for a wider segment of the population. The discounted rates for departing passengers will be active from December 22, 2025, to January 10, 2026, covering both scheduled domestic flights and additional holiday services.
Beyond passenger benefits, InJourney Airports is also extending a 50 percent discount on aircraft landing, parking, and storage services (PJP4U). This additional incentive targets airlines and aims to support the broader aviation ecosystem by reducing operational costs for carriers. Adi Soemarmo Airport General Manager Hery Purwanto highlighted that lower costs are expected to significantly boost passenger numbers, particularly at regional hubs, by making air travel more competitive against other modes of transport.
The Indonesian Ministry of Transportation's directive, outlined in Letter No. PR/303/1/8/MHB/2025, underscores the government's commitment to supporting the aviation industry and facilitating holiday travel. The combined effect of reduced PSC for passengers and PJP4U for airlines is anticipated to create a positive feedback loop, driving increased demand and operational activity across Indonesia's extensive airport network. This policy reflects a proactive approach to leverage pricing strategies for economic stimulation within the civil aviation sector.
