School Holiday Travel: 5.46 Million Passengers Projected to Flood InJourney Airports
PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia (Persero), operating as InJourney Airports, projects that passenger movements across its 37 managed airports will reach 5.46 million during the school holiday period from 29 June to 11 July 2026. This increase in public mobility is considered likely to stimulate economic activity, the tourism sector, and consumption in various regions.
InJourney Airports President Director Mohammad R. Pahlevi stated in a written release received in Tangerang, Banten, on Wednesday (17/6/2026), that the number of passengers is estimated to rise by 9.72 percent compared to normal days in 2026. Meanwhile, flight movements are projected to reach approximately 41,000, growing by 6.25 percent.
“During the school holiday period, namely 29 June to 11 July 2026, it is estimated that 5.46 million passengers will travel, or an increase of about 9.72 percent compared to normal days in 2026,” Pahlevi said.
He stated that to anticipate the increase in flight traffic, a number of operational measures have been prepared, including slot time arrangements, aircraft movement management at airports, and the readiness of all personnel, including Aviation Security (Avsec) officers.
From a service perspective, Pahlevi added, the airport operator has also prepared various customer experience programmes to maintain service quality amidst the increased flight traffic.
“We want families travelling during this period to already feel the holiday atmosphere from the moment they are at the departure airport. For this reason, we are running the Festive Event School Holiday campaign with the theme Sweet Departure to present family-friendly airports and create sweet memories for passengers,” he said.
A number of programmes have been prepared, ranging from thematic school holiday decorations including focal points or photo areas, children’s activations and entertainment in the terminal such as airport education tours, cookie decoration, and children’s art performances (on-ground activation), to special souvenirs for families travelling with children (Sweet Journey Gift).
