Indonesian domestic flight ticket prices may rise 9-13%<\/p>\n
Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto explained\nthat the increase in flight ticket prices is triggered by the rise in\naviation fuel prices in all countries, such as in Thailand reaching\nRp29,518 per litre, the Philippines Rp25,326 per litre, while in\nIndonesia it has exceeded Rp23,551 per litre.<\/p>\n
According to Airlangga, aviation fuel contributes to 40% of airline\noperating costs.<\/p>\n
He stated that a 38% increase in fuel surcharge applies to jet and\npropeller aircraft, up from the previous 10%, to respond to the rise in\nmarket aviation fuel prices as an impact of the US-Israel and Iran war,\nand it will apply for 2 months.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo keep the increase in domestic ticket prices affordable for the\npublic, the government is limiting the rise to around 9-13%,\u201d Airlangga\nemphasised.<\/p>\n
Airlangga said the government\u2019s efforts to curb the surge in ticket\nprices can be done through the Value Added Tax Borne by the Government\n(PPN DTP) of 11% for domestic economy class air transport tickets.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith that calculation, the amount of subsidy provided by the\ngovernment is around Rp1.3 trillion per month. So if we prepare for 2\nmonths, this is Rp2.6 trillion so that the ticket price increase is a\nmaximum of 9-13%,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Will Kim Jong Un\u2019s daughter lead North Korea?<\/p>\n
The daughter of North Korea\u2019s leader, Kim Jong Un, dubbed by state\nmedia as the \u201cmost beloved\u201d or \u201cmost respected\u201d child, has been\naccompanying her father to various important events since the end of\n2022, sparking speculation that she is being prepared as the future\nleader of North Korea.<\/p>\n
In a closed briefing at the National Assembly yesterday (06\/04),\nSouth Korea\u2019s National Intelligence Service Director Lee Jong-seok said\nshe can be considered as Kim\u2019s successor, in response to questions from\nparliament members about her political status.<\/p>\n
When asked about the possibility of protests from Kim\u2019s sister, Kim\nYo Jong, who has long been considered the number two figure in North\nKorea, the NIS director answered that she does not have substantial\npower, according to parliament member Lee in a briefing.<\/p>\n
He cited the NIS quoting \u201creliable intelligence\u201d but did not specify\nit.<\/p>\n
Some observers disagree with the NIS assessment, saying that North\nKorean society, which is very male-focused, is unlikely to accept a\nfemale leader and that Kim, aged 42, is too young to appoint a successor\nwhich could weaken his grip on power.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/world-today-donald-trump-says-iran-could-be-destroyed-in-one-night-1775602302", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
