SEAToday.com, Jakarta - The government has decided to reduce domestic airfares by 10 percent during the Christmas 2024 and New Year 2025 (Nataru) holiday period. This policy applies at all airports in Indonesia from December 19, 2024 to January 03, 2025 for tickets that have not been sold.
“Synergy and coordination continue to be carried out with the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure, and the Task Force Team in the last two weeks. The team is working hard and solidly so that ticket prices, God willing, can be more affordable for the public during the Christmas and New Year holidays,” Minister of Tourism Widiyanti Putri Wardhana was quoted as saying by ANTARA in a press release in Jakarta, Thursday (11/28).
Minister of Tourism Widiyanti Putri Wardhana positively welcomed this step, and said that the policy was a breath of fresh air for the public and the tourism sector, especially in welcoming the year-end holidays.
“Policy relaxation is needed as a breath of fresh air for the public and the tourism sector, especially when welcoming the Christmas and New Year holidays,” she added.
Ministry of Transportation Spokesperson Elba Damhuri announced on Wednesday (11/27) that the government had set a policy to reduce domestic airfares for the Christmas 2024 and New Year 2025 holiday periods.
The reduction in ticket prices is expected to encourage people to travel, as well as provide opportunities for tourism industry players to offer travel packages at more competitive prices. This policy is one of the government's strategic efforts to revive domestic tourism.
