        "summary": "Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto has announced that the government will cover 11 percent VAT on aviation turbine fuel (avtur) for two months to mitigate a 9-13 percent rise in domestic airfares amid surging global oil prices. This policy addresses the sharp increase in avtur prices from March to April 2026, driven by Middle East geopolitical tensions, with the government also absorbing additional hajj pilgrimage costs of Rp 1.77 trillion to shield around 220,000 pilgrims. The Indonesia National Air Carriers Association has urged further measures, including a 15 percent hike in upper fare limits and fuel surcharges, alongside operational stimulus, due to weakening rupiah and persistent cost pressures.",
