Pertamina Organises Joint Homecoming 2026 with Over 5,000 Participants Ready to Return Home
PT Pertamina (Persero) has relaunched its Joint Homecoming programme for 2026 under the theme “Safe Homecoming, Sharing Hope”. The company will transport over 5,000 homecoming participants to 23 destinations across Java Island using 153 buses. The departure ceremony took place at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Gate 3, Jakarta, on Sunday, 15 March 2026.
The Joint Homecoming programme represents Pertamina’s commitment to supporting smooth public mobility ahead of Eid al-Fitr, whilst providing participants with a safe, comfortable and joyful journey home.
Pertamina’s Chief Commissioner Mochamad Iriawan stated that the programme demonstrates the company’s concern for communities wishing to celebrate Eid with their families in their home villages.
“I appreciate all Pertamina officers who have worked hard to organise this beneficial programme for our community. Homecoming is not merely a journey home, but a journey that carries hearts to meet with family in their respective villages,” Iriawan said.
He added that the Joint Homecoming activity also reflects the spirit of unity and mutual assistance that are important values in Indonesian culture, particularly during the Eid season.
Pertamina’s Deputy Chief Executive Officer Oki Muraza stated that the homecoming tradition holds profound meaning for Indonesian society. Pertamina wishes to provide support so that journeys home can take place safely and comfortably.
“Homecoming is not merely a journey home. Homecoming is longing in motion, happiness we celebrate together, and kinship bonds that must always be strengthened,” Oki said.
According to him, for Pertamina, the Joint Homecoming programme represents the company’s commitment to being present during special moments for Indonesian society.
Collaborating with Partners
In line with the theme “Safe Homecoming, Sharing Hope”, Pertamina has partnered with various organisations to realise a safe, comfortable and blessed journey for all participants. This collaboration includes support for transport fleets and the provision of various supporting facilities throughout the activity.
“We are providing 153 buses to serve 23 destinations across Java Island with a total of over 5,000 participants, including members of the general public and Pertamina workers,” Oki said.
In addition to the transport fleet, Pertamina has also prepared various facilities to enhance participant comfort during the departure process. These facilities include rest areas for homecoming travellers, children’s play areas and meals for participants.
All these facilities are provided so that each participant can begin their homecoming journey feeling peaceful and happy before undertaking the journey to their respective hometowns.
Furthermore, Oki stated that this activity is not merely a farewell ceremony for homecoming travellers, but also a symbol of hope for thousands of people wishing to reunite with their loved ones.
“Through this event, we are not only sending off departures, but also releasing thousands of hopes to return home. Hope to reunite with loved ones, hope to celebrate Eid with full happiness, and hope to reminisce about wonderful moments in the village,” Oki said.
He also expressed appreciation to all partners who have contributed to the success of Pertamina’s Joint Homecoming programme this year.
“We express our highest thanks and appreciation to all partners who have worked hard. This dedication proves that Pertamina not only channels energy for the nation, but also brings the energy of happiness to society,” Oki said.
Through the 2026 Joint Homecoming programme, Pertamina hopes to provide tangible benefits to the public whilst strengthening the spirit of unity in welcoming Eid al-Fitr. The programme also forms part of Pertamina’s commitment to continue supporting the various needs of society, including during important moments such as the Eid homecoming tradition.
