JAKARTA - General Manager of Bali's I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport Ahmad Syaugi Shahab targets that by August 2025 he can serve at least 1.3 million passengers, in order to penetrate a total of 15 million passengers from January to August.
Ahmad Syauqi, in Badung Regency, Sunday, said the figure was the most realistic, after last July this airport recorded the highest number of passengers during 2025 due to the long holiday factor.
Meanwhile, school holidays are over and August is often not the month for Bali to be crowded with tourists.
"If passengers are the highest in July, yes, 2.3 million and from January to June the total is 11.4 million, so it means January to July 13.7 million, if you talk about August, hopefully it can, it will get a total of 15 million passenger targets," said Ahmad Syaugi.
If you look at the year-on-year trend, I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport managers map out spikes in visits that usually occur at certain moments, such as the July summer holiday which coincides with domestic school holidays.
The surge in passengers is also predicted to only occur entering the end of the year, especially in December.
"In August, it's neutral, it's not too high, but it's not too low because the big one is July, maybe it will go up again in December," he said.
However, he is optimistic that with the target of 15 million passengers in 8 months this year, there is even hope that throughout August the number of passengers is close to 2 million.
The joint leave holiday in the series of RI's 80th Anniversary, Monday, August 18, 2025 tomorrow, is also taken into account by I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport as one of the drivers in August.
Ahmad Syaugi saw that on Friday, August 16, 2025, there was an increase in the number of passengers in a day which was estimated to be the impact of the long holiday.

Meanwhile, on Friday, the number of passengers reached 78,045 people with a distribution of 28,512 domestic passengers and 49,533 international passengers in one day.
"Yes, it was seen that last Friday that it started to get crowded, but compared to July, it was more July because the school holiday was much higher for passengers," said Ahmad Syaugi.
