        "summary": "AirAsia Indonesia has adjusted flight schedules on various domestic and international routes to maintain operational sustainability amid rising costs, particularly in aviation fuel and operational components. The airline apologises for any inconvenience and offers affected passengers options including free rescheduling, travel credits, or full refunds. Government measures, such as fuel surcharge adjustments and VAT exemptions on domestic economy tickets, provide some relief, though further rationalisation is necessary to ensure service stability in a challenging aviation industry.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - AirAsia Indonesia has assured that services remain\nintact following schedule adjustments to flights on several routes, both\ndomestic and international, in recent days.<\/p>\n<p>Acting Director of Indonesia AirAsia Achmad Sadikin, in a statement\nin Jakarta on Monday, said these adjustments are part of efforts to\nmaintain service continuity amid ongoing operational dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe understand the inconvenience felt by passengers and extend our\napologies for this situation. We are striving to the utmost to ensure\nevery passenger receives appropriate handling options,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Sadikin also expressed appreciation for the government\u2019s responsive\nmeasures in maintaining balance in the national aviation industry amid\nincreasing cost pressures.<\/p>\n<p>Policies on fuel surcharge adjustments and exemptions from import\nduties on aircraft spare parts represent strategic steps that provide\nroom for airlines to sustain operations.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the policy of government-borne Value Added Tax\n(VAT DTP) at 11 percent for domestic economy class air tickets also\nplays an important role in keeping prices affordable for the public.<\/p>\n<p>In line with such support, the aviation industry still faces\nsignificant cost pressures, particularly due to rising avtur prices and\nother operational components.<\/p>\n<p>Although fuel surcharge adjustments of up to 38 percent have been\nfactored in as part of mitigation measures, these efforts have not fully\noffset the existing cost pressures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, capacity rationalisation and gradual operational\nadjustments remain necessary, particularly on routes with limited\nmargins, to ensure service sustainability and maintain airline\noperational stability,\u201d Sadikin said.<\/p>\n<p>As a form of responsibility and commitment to affected customers,\nAirAsia Indonesia has implemented service recovery options (SRO) for all\nimpacted passengers, including schedule changes without charge (free\nreschedule) within a 30-day period; provision of credit accounts via\nAirAsia MOVE for future transactions; and full refunds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndonesia AirAsia will continue to monitor the situation\u2019s\ndevelopments and coordinate with all stakeholders to ensure aviation\nservices run smoothly and provide comfort for all passengers,\u201d Sadikin\nsaid.<\/p>",
