Domestic Airfares Now More Affordable.
Kompas.com reports that some domestic airfares are declining, with the cost of traveling three domestic routes now available at lower prices.
The Indonesian Minister of Tourism and the Creative Economy, Sandiaga Uno, said that many airlines now post lower prices than just several months ago. “This is in keeping with lower aviation fuel costs,” commented Sandiaga in an Instagram post on Thursday, 12 January 2023.
The Minister said he hoped the lower air ticket prices would incentivize the public to take a holiday in Indonesia. In turn, more Indonesian holidays, he said, would help restore the tourism economy and create employment opportunities.
The Minister announced that an air ticket from Jakarta to Bali could be purchased for Rp. 700,000 – down from the previous price of between Rp. 1.3 to Rp. 3.3. million.
Meanwhile, an air ticket from Jakarta to Surabaya costs Rp. 600,000 representing a significant price reduction from the old level of around Rp. 1 million. Tickets one way from Jakarta to Yogyakarta can be purchased for Rp. 400,000 – much less than the previous price level of Rp. 800,000 to Rp. 1 million.
