PT Pertamina Patra Niaga has officially reduced domestic aviation fuel (Avtur) prices effective 1 June 2026. The price adjustment applies across all Indonesian airports, with an average reduction of approximately 10%, following recent global energy price declines.

The move aims to support national air connectivity, maintain aviation industry competitiveness, and ensure sustainable energy supply for the air transport sector.

Nationally, Avtur prices in June 2026 fell by up to 10% compared to May 2026, with reductions evident at major airports. At Soekarno-Hatta Airport (CGK)’s Aviation Fuel Terminal (AFT), prices dropped from Rp24,580 to Rp22,190 per litre. In Bali’s Ngurah Rai (DPS), they fell from Rp26,190 to Rp23,480 per litre, while at Kualanamu (KNO) in North Sumatra, prices decreased from Rp25,720 to Rp23,090 per litre.

Pertamina explained that price reductions vary by airport due to regional distribution and logistics factors under the regulatory formula.

Corporate Secretary Roberth MV Dumatubun stated that Avtur price adjustments are a monthly routine based on global energy market trends. He added that pricing follows international publication averages, primarily using the Mean of Platts Singapore (MOPS) Kerosene/Jet benchmark for Asian jet fuel prices.

‘The Avtur price adjustment follows the formula set by the regulator, namely the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), and considers global energy price movements. When global energy prices fall, this is reflected in Avtur prices according to the applicable mechanism,’ Roberth said in a statement on Monday, 1 June 2026.

He noted that global energy prices declined throughout May 2026, which was reflected in June’s Avtur pricing.

Roberth added that the price adjustment is part of Pertamina Patra Niaga’s efforts to balance business aspects, energy supply sustainability, and service quality for all aviation users.

Further, Pertamina believes competitive Avtur prices will positively impact the national aviation industry, which is striving to enhance connectivity and public mobility.

‘The price adjustment is expected to boost domestic flight activity, support national tourism, improve regional connectivity, and spur local economic growth. With more competitive pricing, the aviation industry can continue to grow and deliver broader societal benefits,’ he added.

In addition to domestic flights, Pertamina Patra Niaga supplies Avtur for international flights. For this segment, prices are adjusted based on regional market conditions and competition to maintain Indonesia’s competitiveness as an aviation hub.

However, the company stressed that domestic flight supply remains the top priority in national aviation energy management.

Pertamina Patra Niaga currently operates 72 Aviation Fuel Terminals (AFTs) across Indonesia. These facilities supply Avtur to major airports, hub airports, and remote airstrips critical for regional connectivity.

Roberth assured that national Avtur supplies remain secure and reliable to support airline operations.

‘Pertamina Patra Niaga ensures Avtur supplies remain secure and reliable across all AFTs to support smooth domestic and international flight operations,’ he concluded.

Going forward, Pertamina Patra Niaga stated it will monitor global energy prices and coordinate with the government to ensure aviation energy services remain competitive, sustainable, and supportive of national air transport growth.
