Pertamina provides aviation fuel price discount to support Lebaran flights

PT Pertamina (Persero), through its Subholding Downstream PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, is offering special pricing in the form of a 10 per cent discount on aviation fuel purchases to support smooth public mobility during the Lebaran 2026 holiday season.

Roberth MV Dumatubun, Corporate Secretary of Pertamina Patra Niaga, stated in Jakarta on Thursday that this policy represents tangible support for the government’s efforts to maintain stability in aeroplane ticket prices and ensure that air transport access remains affordable during Lebaran 2026.

“The adjustment comprises a 10 per cent discount on aviation fuel prices applicable at 37 airports,” he said.

He expressed hope that this measure would help airlines optimise their operational costs during the Lebaran peak season period.

“Through this special aviation fuel pricing policy, Pertamina Patra Niaga wishes to provide concrete support so that airlines have room for cost efficiency, thereby enabling the public to benefit from more competitive ticket prices during the Lebaran exodus period,” he stated.

The special aviation fuel pricing policy applies to 37 airports covering all regions of Indonesia, starting from Sumatera, including Kualanamu, Minangkabau, Sultan Iskandar Muda, Hang Nadim, Hanandjoeddin, Sultan Syarif Kasim II, and Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin.

In Java, the airports include Soekarno-Hatta, Halim Perdanakusuma, Achmad Yani, Kertajati, Juanda, and Adisutjipto, as well as Ngurah Rai in Bali and Bandar Udara Internasional Lombok in NTB.

In Kalimantan, the policy covers Supadio, Syamsuddin Noor, and Sepinggan; in Sulawesi, it includes Hasanuddin and Sam Ratulangi; whilst also covering Pattimura in Maluku and Frans Kaisiepo and Sentani in Papua.

Beyond the pricing policy, Pertamina Patra Niaga is also contributing by ensuring the security of national aviation fuel stock reserves, averaging more than 30 days.

All aviation fuel terminals (AFT) are operating with full standby teams to guarantee smooth distribution and service during the Lebaran exodus and return period.

“We are committed to ensuring that the supply of aviation energy remains secure so that the public can travel safely, comfortably, and smoothly during this moment of togetherness for Eid al-Fitr,” Roberth said.
