JAKARTA - Acting Governor of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Ayodhia GL Kalake revealed that the obstacle faced by his current community is a very significant increase in aircraft ticket prices.

This was conveyed by Ayodhia at the Celebration of the Peak of National Maritime Day 59 of 2023 in Kupang, Thursday, October 12.

Therefore, Ayodhia asked the Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi to pay attention to the issue of expensive ticket prices.

"Hopefully it is pleased to be the attention of the Minister of Transportation, currently one of the obstacles faced by the people of NTT is a very significant increase in the ticket price for inter-regional aircraft in the province of East Nusa Tenggara," said Ayodhia.

Furthermore, Ayodhia said, the high cost of this plane ticket also made inflation in the region high.

"This will then contribute to your inflation, please pay attention and ask for your support," said Ayodhia.

Responding to this, the Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi said that he would strive to make the flight ticket price for planes to and from East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) more affordable.

"Then the expensive ticket accompanied by applause, I smiled but my heart was excited to give you an affordable (affordable) ticket," said the Minister of Transportation.
