Pertamina Ensures Availability of Avtur for Hajj Flights

PT Pertamina Patra Niaga (PPN) has prepared more than 80,000 kilolitres (KL) of avtur to support the needs of Hajj flights in 2026. This step is taken to ensure the smooth operation of air mobility for pilgrims.

Hajj flight services this year will take place in two phases: phase I from 22 April to 21 May 2026 and phase II from 1 to 30 June 2026. During this period, PPN will maintain operational readiness and the reliability of avtur supply at all service points.

PPN Corporate Secretary Roberth MV Dumatubun stated that the company relies on an integrated supply chain system from upstream to downstream. “Pertamina Patra Niaga ensures the reliability of avtur supply at all Hajj flight service points through an integrated supply chain system, starting from the refinery, fuel terminal, aviation fuel terminal to into-plane services,” said Roberth in Jakarta on Thursday (23/4/2026).

As Pertamina’s downstream subholding, the company plays an important role in providing energy for the national aviation sector. This support is reflected through operational services at 14 Hajj embarkation locations. The locations include Sultan Iskandar Muda Airport, Minangkabau, Hang Nadim, Kualanamu, Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II, Soekarno-Hatta, Kertajati, Adi Soemarmo, Juanda, Lombok International Airport (BIL), Sepinggan, Syamsudin Noor, Hasanuddin, as well as Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) which is a new embarkation point in 2026.

Avtur distribution is designed to reach main embarkation airports to logistics support airports.
