JAKARTA - KAI Logistik, a subsidiary of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero), has played an active role in supporting post-disaster recovery that hit a number of areas in Sumatra some time ago. As a company engaged in logistics transportation services, KAI Logistik provides free aid delivery facilities from Java and Bali to various affected areas in Sumatra.

This initiative is a tangible manifestation of the company's role as part of BUMN in carrying out public services, especially in ensuring the distribution of aid quickly, safely, and coordinated.

The KAI Logistics Care for Sumatra program opens opportunities for all Logistics KAI employees, as well as customers, partners, and the wider community to participate through free aid delivery facilities. The assistance that can be sent includes clothes that are suitable for clothing, basic necessities, dry and instant foods, baby needs, basic medicines, and daily equipment with a maximum weight of 10 kg.

The donation collection period is open from 8 to 11 December 2025, and all aid will be consolidated at the Jakarta gathering point on 12 December 2025. The aid packages can be submitted through 20 Service Point KALOG Express points spread across Jakarta, Bekasi, Bandung, Sukabumi, Cikampek, Cirebon, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Solo, Sragen, Surabaya, Banyuwangi, and Denpasar.

The President Director of KAI Logistics, Yuskal Setiawan, said that this initiative was a form of the company's real contribution in helping accelerate disaster management.

As a logistics company, KAI Logistics has a moral and social responsibility to be present to support disaster management efforts. For this reason, KAI Logistics is committed to facilitating the concern of the Indonesian people. Through this program, we ensure that assistance from the community can move faster and free of charge. The role of logistics is very important in ensuring that the distribution chain of aid runs effectively and on target," he said, Monday, December 8.

All assistance collected through the Logistics KAI branch network will be processed, and then distributed through related parties.

"KAI Logistics continues to coordinate with related parties to ensure that assistance can be delivered safely, under control, and on target. This program is expected to be a forum for people who want to be involved in humanitarian actions but have limitations in logistics delivery. We invite the public to use this service as a form of national solidarity. Through collaboration and mutual concern, we can help accelerate the recovery of our brothers and sisters in Sumatra," continued Yuskal.

Before this free delivery program was opened, KAI Logistics had also distributed additional support in the form of donation of aid funds as part of the company's CSR program. The donation was collected collectively to the parent company, namely PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) as a form of solidarity and concern for the affected Sumatran people.

This initiative is in line with the company's commitment to strengthening social and sustainability contributions.

"This humanitarian movement is not only an emergency response, but also a tangible manifestation of KAI Logistics' commitment to strengthening social awareness, collaboration, and sustainability. We want to ensure that the existence of KAI Logistics has a positive impact, not only on business processes, but also on people who are facing difficult times," concluded Yuskal.
