InJourney provides stimulus to reduce airfares during specific periods

PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia, also known as InJourney Airports, is providing stimulus to reduce aircraft ticket prices during specific periods, one of which involves discounting landing fees.

“For example, the landing fee might be reduced to 50 per cent, and sometimes during certain periods to increase traffic, we even provide it for free. We zero it out,” said the President Director of InJourney Airports, Mohammad Rizal Pahlevi, when met following a Hearing with Commission VI of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) held at the Parliament Complex in Senayan, Jakarta, on Thursday.

Furthermore, Rizal continued, InJourney Airports also has its own pattern for providing stimulus to airlines on new routes, such as the use of offices or airline facilities.

During periods such as Christmas and New Year, school holidays, and the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr seasons, Rizal stated that InJourney Airports provides a 5_0 per cent discount on the Passenger Service Charge (PSC).

“We are playing a role there. We also support efforts to ensure the public can obtain more competitive ticket prices, in order to increase public purchasing power,” said Rizal.

In his presentation during the hearing with Commission VI of the DPR RI, Rizal acknowledged that geopolitical conditions significantly impact aircraft traffic and passenger numbers.

“Geopolitics has a major influence on this situation, as do certain aviation fuel prices. I believe this is an issue that airlines frequently complain about,” said Rizal.

Based on the operational performance presentation of InJourney Airports for 2025, there was a 0.2 per cent decrease in aircraft movements, from 1.193 million movements in 2024 to 1.190 million in 2025.

A downward trend was also observed in passenger numbers, which fell by 1 per cent year-on-year from 160 million passengers in 2024 to 158 million in 2025.

“Some aspects, such as aircraft and passenger traffic, have indeed decreased, while cargo has increased slightly,” said Rizal.

Cargo increases were recorded at 1 per cent year-on-year, from 1.518 million tonnes in 2024 to 1.534 million tonnes in 2025.

“Usually, when the seat load factor for passenger planes is low, they will optimise one of their revenue streams through cargo, which is why cargo has risen by 1 per cent,” said Rizal.
