JAKARTA - PT Angkasa Pura I (Persero) provides stimulus or incentive policies for national and foreign airlines that carry out international flights to and from Bali. This policy was taken to support the recovery of the Bali tourism sector in line with the plan to open international doors for foreign tourists.

President Director of PT Angkasa Pura I (Persero) Faik Fahmi said the incentive was in the form of a landing fee discount with an incentive period of 14 October 2021 to 30 June 2022. In the period 14 October to 31 December 2021 Angkasa Pura I provide a landing fee discount of 100 percent.

Then, continued Fahmi, in the period from January 1 to June 30, 2022, Angkasa Pura I will provide a landing fee discount of 50 percent.

"Angkasa Pura I supports the recovery of Bali's tourism in line with the plan to open international doors for foreign tourists to Bali by providing stimulus for airlines, national and foreign, to reactivate international routes to and from Bali," he said in a written statement, Wednesday, October 13.

With the provision of this incentive, Fahmi hopes that it will ease the burden on airlines to reactivate their international routes to and from Bali.

How to get incentives

To get this incentive, said Fahmi, there are several criteria that must be met by airlines, namely first, companies that apply for incentives for international routes are air force business entities and foreign air transportation companies.

Second, flights included in the incentive program are regular scheduled passenger flights that have been approved by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation based on flight route permits.

Third, flights that are not included in the incentive program are general aviation and charter freighters.

According to flight records at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport in 2019 or the pre-pandemic period, the airport serves 50 destinations in cities in the world such as Incheon, Dubai, Doha, Narita, Istanbul, Sydney, Melbourne and so on.

Fahmi said international passengers even reached 13.8 million people throughout 2019. Most of the aircraft used are Boeing 777, Boeing 787 and Airbus 330.

"Furthermore, airlines that receive these incentives will also be assisted in promoting their flight routes by Angkasa Pura I on various company electronic media channels such as social media," he said.
