PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia (InJourney Airports) has announced a reduction in airport service fees for airline passengers and carriers. This initiative represents a significant step by InJourney Airports to directly influence the decrease in airfare prices. It aligns with the Minister of Transportation's Letter Number PR.303/1/20/MHB/2024 regarding the Implementation of Discounts on Airport Service Fees. The fare reduction for airline passengers consists of a 50 percent discount on the Passenger Service Charge (PSC), applicable across all 37 InJourney Airports and on all domestic economy flight routes. This discount will be available for ticket bookings made from December 1, 2024, to January 3, 2025, with flights scheduled during the Christmas and New Year transport period from December 19, 2024, to January 3, 2025. Faik Fahmi, the President Director of InJourney Airports, stated that the PSC is a fee for services provided at the airport, which is included in the ticket price. In other words, when prospective passengers purchase a flight ticket, the ticket price already encompasses the PSC. “The Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises, the Ministry of Transportation, and InJourney, as the holding company for state-owned enterprises in the aviation and tourism sectors, support the reduction of airfare to facilitate public mobility and stimulate the economy. In line with this, InJourney Airports, as the operator of 37 airports, has implemented a 50% discount on the PSC, which will subsequently affect the overall airfare,” Faik Fahmi remarked. “This initiative is a demonstration of support for the government’s program aimed at lowering airfare prices, which has been anticipated by the public, and it represents InJourney Airports' efforts to invigorate domestic air travel, ultimately contributing positively to economic growth and tourism,” he added.
