This is what we must face together because the world is still under\npressure from war, geopolitical tensions, which affect the energy market\nand global energy prices. And this certainly has an impact everywhere,\nincluding the transportation sector, including aviation,\u201d said AHY to\nreporters in the Bundaran HI area, Central Jakarta, Sunday\n(17\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n
AHY affirmed that he will continue to pay attention to this issue. He\nhopes that the crisis in the Middle East can improve over time.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is what must be addressed because of the increasing global\nenergy prices, including for the aviation sector. I think this is what\nwe need to convey and make a priority. And we certainly also hope that\nthe situation in the Middle East will improve over time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
AHY stated that he will continue to discuss this issue with the\nMinistry of Transportation (Kemenhub). He will also hold dialogues with\nairlines operating in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is still being discussed. I will sit down with the Ministry of\nTransportation, which regulates this overall, and also with the airlines\noperating in Indonesia,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
It is known that the Kemenhub has officially implemented a new\nregulation regarding additional fuel costs or fuel surcharges for\ndomestic economy class air tickets. This regulation is outlined in the\nMinister of Transportation\u2019s Decree (Kepmenhub) Number KM 1041 of 2026,\nwhich can be applied by airlines starting from May 13, 2026.<\/p>\n
The Director General of Air Transportation of the Kemenhub, Lukman F\nLaisa, explained that the fuel surcharge policy is a mechanism regulated\nby the government to anticipate fluctuations in avtur prices and\nmaintain the sustainability of national air transportation services.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe adjustment of the fuel surcharge is carried out based on the\nmechanisms and formulas set forth in the regulations. The government\ncontinues to ensure that the implementation of this policy is carried\nout in a measured way while still paying attention to consumer\nprotection, affordability of fares, and the operational sustainability\nof airlines,\u201d said Lukman, as quoted by detikFinance, Thursday\n(14\/5).<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/domestic-air-ticket-prices-potentially-to-increase-ahy-cites-pressure-from-ongoing-conflicts-1780656103", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
