JAKARTA - PT Pelauyangan Nasional Indonesia (Persero) or Pelni targets a minimum net profit of IDR 250 billion by 2024.

Until the first semester of 2024, Pelni had managed to record a net profit of IDR 110 billion.

This was conveyed by the President Director of PT Pelni Tri Andayani in a Talkshow entitled Pelni Opportunities and Challenges at the Mulia Hotel, Jakarta, Thursday, August 1.

"In the first semester, Alhamdulillah, we have posted a net profit of IDR 110 billion. I hope that by the end of this year at least IDR 250 billion can be achieved," he said.

Tri explained that the achievement of Pelni's net profit target would be focused on services and logistics.

Because, he said, the company could not only rely on revenue from passenger ticket sales.

"Because the amount of tickets has been regulated by the regulator," he said.

Tri also said Pelni's efforts to maximize revenue were to provide additional services for passengers. Such as renting blankets and other paid additional facilities.

In addition, continued Tri, the company also offers paid WiFi facilities that can be enjoyed throughout the journey.

He assessed that this paid WiFi service is commonly applied to airline businesses abroad.

We also offer study on boards, city tours, and mices or events on board, and provide space tenants, including inside and on-board advertising. That's our effort to increase revenue," he explained.

Meanwhile, in terms of the number of passengers, Tri targets that Pelni will be able to transport up to 5.5 million people by the end of this year.

He said, until the first semester of 2024 the number of Pelni passengers had reached 2.6 million people.

"We project that by the end of the year it could reach 5.4 to 5.5 million people with long holidays and Nataru," he said.
