JAKARTA - Garuda Indonesia will adjust air ticket prices in line with the government's policy regarding the adjustment of additional cost components or fuel surcharges.
For information, domestic air ticket prices are allowed to increase by 9 to 13 percent in accordance with the Minister of Transportation's Decree Number 83 of 2026 concerning the adjustment of fuel surcharges on domestic economy class passenger fares, as well as the plan to provide stimulus in the form of 11 percent VAT borne by the Government (DTP).
Garuda Indonesia President Director Glenny Kairupan ensured that the adjustment of air ticket prices would be carried out proportionally and measured.
"Garuda Indonesia will adjust ticket prices proportionally and measured while still prioritizing the principles of prudence, transparency, and compliance with regulatory provisions," he said in an official statement, Wednesday, April 8.
Glenny also said that evaluations would be carried out periodically in line with the development of jet fuel prices, which continue to move dynamically.
In addition, Glenny said Garuda Indonesia also prepared mitigation steps through the review of frequency and flight schedule optimization on a number of routes to maintain capacity productivity and operational sustainability.
According to Glenny, this fuel surcharge policy is a strategic step to maintain a balance between the airline's operational sustainability and the accessibility of air transportation services for the public.
"This policy is a strategic step in maintaining a balance between the sustainability of airline operations and the accessibility of air transportation services for the public, while supporting the stability of the national aviation industry ecosystem," he said.
