InJourney Group Dispatches 2,418 Participants in Free Mudik BUMN 2026 Programme
PT Aviasi Pariwisata Indonesia (Persero), or InJourney, has deployed 2,418 homebound travellers heading to various cities across Indonesia as part of the Free Mudik Together BUMN 2026 Programme. The national dispatch of passengers was carried out through a flag-off ceremony in the Gelora Bung Karno Ring Road area in Senayan, Jakarta.
In addition, InJourney’s subsidiary InJourney Airports, which manages 37 airports, had already dispatched 400 mudik participants from Makassar to Surabaya the day before, on 16 March 2026. The departure from Makassar complements the transportation support provided by InJourney during the Eid al-Fitr holiday 1447 Hijri, whilst demonstrating concrete BUMN synergy in serving communities throughout Indonesia.
The programme has been organised as a demonstration of concern for the public by providing safe, comfortable travel facilities for mudik whilst prioritising safety aspects. Additionally, the programme is expected to help reduce the risk of traffic accidents, which typically increase during the mudik period.
InJourney’s Director of Human Resources and Digital, Herdy Harman, stated that InJourney’s participation in this programme represents a manifestation of the BUMN’s commitment to being present alongside society and providing tangible social benefits.
“InJourney’s participation in this programme is part of our commitment as a BUMN holding in the aviation and tourism sector to provide inclusive and directly impactful connectivity for society. Through this programme, we not only provide transportation facilities, but also ensure that homebound travellers experience security and comfort by prioritising safety aspects,” said Herdy in a written statement on Tuesday (17 March 2026).
Herdy also expressed hope that the initiative would help ease mudik congestion whilst delivering sustainable social benefits for communities throughout Indonesia, in line with efforts to create a meaningful Eid celebration.
He added that all transportation modes used have met strict safety and operational standards. InJourney Group also ensures that the departure process runs in an orderly, secure manner and in accordance with applicable regulations.
Meanwhile, one mudik participant from Solo, Heru, stated that he was greatly assisted by the InJourney Free Mudik programme in reducing travel costs to his hometown.
“Bus fares from Jakarta to Solo can reach around 600,000 rupiah per person. With this programme, we are greatly helped because that budget can be redirected for daily needs and family expenses. The service is also comfortable, and this year there are improvements such as goodie bag distribution and assistance for breaking the fast. In the future, hopefully this programme can continue to be improved and better organised,” Heru said.
Another participant from Boyolali, Widhi, also expressed his appreciation for the programme, which he deemed well-executed.
“Alhamdulillah I was able to participate in this mudik programme because everything is well organised, the facilities and services are also very adequate. In the future, hopefully the number of bus fleets and destination cities can be increased so that more people can benefit from it,” said Widhi.
The Free Mudik Together InJourney 2026 provides various transportation modes from strategic departure points such as Jakarta, Tangerang, Makassar, and Ambon to several destination cities, including Solo, Yogyakarta, Semarang, Magelang, Surabaya, Lampung, Palembang, and Seram Island.
This programme is part of the national Free Mudik Together BUMN 2026 initiative, which is targeting the transportation of approximately 100,000 homebound travellers via land, sea, and rail, with support from the BUMN Regulatory Body and BPI Danantara.
Through this initiative, InJourney reaffirms its role as a BUMN holding that focuses not only on developing the national aviation and tourism sector, but is also oriented towards providing social benefits and enhancing public safety, in line with the spirit of Safe Mudik, Shared Hope.
