Aviation Fuel Prices Rise 72% in April 2026: Full Details
Aviation fuel (avtur) prices in Indonesia have increased by up to 72.45% in the April 2026 period compared to March 2026. This applies to avtur prices set by PT Pertamina (Persero), particularly at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Tangerang (CGK).
According to Pertamina’s official website, avtur prices have risen at every domestic airport. This applies to both domestic and international flights.
Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia commented on the sharp rise in April 2026 avtur prices. As a non-subsidised fuel, avtur prices follow market regulations.
Bahlil stated that the price increase for avtur, applicable to both international and domestic flights, is due to the high volume of cross-border flights served.
“Avtur prices are indeed market prices, and automatically, since this also serves global avtur refuelling for aircraft from abroad entering, the market mechanism that occurs is the market mechanism,” Bahlil said when met at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources office in Jakarta, quoted on Tuesday (7/4/2026).
Bahlil assessed that avtur prices in Indonesia are still more competitive compared to avtur prices in other countries.
“There is indeed an increase from Pertamina, but this increase compared to avtur prices in other countries, especially neighbours, we are still far more competitive,” he emphasised.
For reference, avtur prices in Indonesia have increased by up to 72.45%. For example, at Soetta Airport (CGK), the avtur price for domestic flights from 1-31 March 2026 was Rp 13,656.51 per litre.
