Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi ensured that the upper limit tariff (TBA) for aircraft tickets would not increase. Budi said he would evaluate the issue of TBA for the plane ticket.

"If (TBA plane tickets) go up, no. If you get down, we'll see the components," he told reporters, Tuesday, December 27.

Budi said the TBA for aircraft tickets was calculated based on a number of components. One of them is the world's economic situation.

Furthermore, Budi said, if the components used to calculate TBA of aircraft tickets have decreased, then the TBA of aircraft tickets can be evaluated.

"TBA is not from the sky, but we calculate the components there. If the components tend to decrease, we can evaluate TBA," he said.

"Yes, TBA can still go down, depending on the economic situation. But we don't know that the world economy suddenly rises, right? It's also difficult," he continued.

Previously, the President Director of Garuda Indonesia, Irfan Setiaputra, hoped that the TBA of aircraft tickets could be increased. However, with the current operating conditions, it is not impossible that the TBA of aircraft tickets will be abolished.

"We hope that TBA will be released, today we are disciplined in following TBA, but next door is nothing. If nothing goes wrong, then everything will be opened," said Irfan to reporters, Monday, December 26.
