The Minister Of Transportation Calculated The Airline Ticket Discount For The 2025 Eid Homecoming Period
Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Dudy Purwagandhi admitted that he was currently calculating the possibility of discounting plane tickets for the Lebaran 2025 homecoming period.
Dudy said this calculation was carried out by considering the number of people going home on Lebaran 2025.
"Again being discussed, this is more, thanks more. The number of people returning home (homecoming) is more, so the expectations must be more accurate," he told reporters, in Jakarta, written Friday, February 14.
Dudy admitted that he did not want to rush into deciding the amount of ticket discounts for the Lebaran homecoming period. He said he would do it slowly.
"Later it will be wrong, it will be wrong," he said.
Previously, Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir opened his voice about the possibility of discounting plane tickets during the Lebaran 2025 homecoming period. He said he was still waiting for President Prabowo Subianto's direction.
Furthermore, Erick admitted that he could not comment much on the possibility of discounting plane tickets such as during the 2024 Christmas and 2025 New Year (Nataru) holidays before a meeting with Prabowo.
"I can't comment before there is a meeting from the President directly," Erick told reporters written Wednesday, January 22.

Erick said the Ministry of SOEs was only carrying out directions. Therefore, he said that when there is a direction from Prabowo, the Ministry of SOEs and the Ministry of Transportation will implement it.
"Yes, of course, he will lead all of that, what kind of direction. Only later will the implementation be in the two of us (Ministry of SOEs and Ministry of Transportation). Like yesterday (airplane ticket discount) for Nataru," he explained.
Erick also admitted that he was ready to synergize with other relevant ministries and institutions to make the implementation of the 2025 Eid homecoming transportation successful.
"We synergize how the successful service to the community in Nataru is again guarded during Eid," he said.
