THE PUBLIC considers domestic flight ticket prices to be reasonable. This refers to the results of a survey by the Indonesian Aviation Service Users Association (Apjapi) some time ago. Of the 7,414 passengers surveyed, 77% said the flight ticket prices were reasonable.
“A survey conducted by Apjapi in early February 2024 showed that 77% of domestic flight service users considered our ticket prices to be still reasonable,” said aviation observer Alvin Lie when contacted, Sunday (8/9).
The 77% figure is a combination of respondents’ assessments that said the price of plane tickets was reasonable (59.8%), the price of plane tickets was cheap (7%), very cheap (0.2%) and respondents who said they did not know whether plane tickets were expensive (10%). Meanwhile, 21.5% of respondents considered plane tickets expensive and 1.5% of respondents considered plane tickets very expensive.
He said the survey was conducted at five airports, namely Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Jakarta; Kualanamu International Airport, North Sumatra; Juanda International Airport, East Java; I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, Bali; and Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport, South Sulawesi.
The survey was conducted using a direct or face-to-face interview method with 7,414 respondents, all of whom were boarding pass holders. “So it’s not a drop-off or pick-up. The survey was conducted for seven consecutive days,” Alvin explained.
He added, 91% of respondents in the survey did not know that in the ticket price paid there was an element of PJP2U (Aircraft Passenger Service Charge). That is the Airport Levy or Passenger Service Charge.

“That is what is usually mistakenly called Airport Tax. This PJP2U goes to the airport management, not to the airlines,” explained Alvin.
From the survey, it was found that 90.9% of respondents did not know that the plane tickets they purchased contained elements of PJP2U and Jasa Raharja Mandatory Contribution (IWJR). Meanwhile, only 9.1% of respondents knew about it.
In addition, domestic ticket prices in Indonesia are subject to Value Added Tax (VAT) of 11%. While international flight tickets are not subject to VAT.
“So expensive or cheap is relative to purchasing power. What is often complained about as expensive are flights to and from small airports served by propeller planes such as ATR. That type of plane is indeed expensive to operate and maintain. Much more expensive than jet planes,” said Alvin. (Z-9)

Reasonable Airline Ticket Prices: A Survey of Indonesian Passengers
In a recent survey conducted by the Indonesian Aviation Service Users Association (Apjapi), a significant majority of respondents (77%) deemed domestic flight ticket prices to be reasonable <a href="https://mediaindonesia.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=800,quality=80,format=webp/https://asset.mediaindonesia.com/news/2024/09/09/17258421743ab39a2648e361c604ab.jpg”>[source[source[source[source[source[source[source[source]. The survey, which polled 7,414 passengers at five major airports across the country, found that only 21.5% of respondents considered airline tickets to be expensive, while 1.5% thought they were very expensive.
Aviation observer Alvin Lie attributed the reasonable pricing to the survey’s findings, stating that ”a survey conducted by Apjapi in early February 2024 showed that 77% of domestic flight service users considered our ticket prices to be still reasonable” <a href="https://mediaindonesia.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=800,quality=80,format=webp/https://asset.mediaindonesia.com/news/2024/09/09/17258421743ab39a2648e361c604ab.jpg”>[source[source[source[source[source[source[source[source].
However, the survey also revealed that a significant portion of respondents (91%) were unaware of the Aircraft Passenger Service Charge (PJP2U) and Jasa Raharja Mandatory Contribution (IWJR) included in their ticket prices. Alvin Lie explained that “that is what is usually mistakenly called Airport Tax. This PJP2U goes to the airport management, not to the airlines” <a href="https://mediaindonesia.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=800,quality=80,format=webp/https://asset.mediaindonesia.com/news/2024/09/09/17258421743ab39a2648e361c604ab.jpg”>[source[source[source[source[source[source[source[source].
This survey comes amidst concerns over the proposed tourism fee on flight tickets, which has been met with opposition from Garuda Indonesia, citing concerns that it would burden passengers [1[1[1[1[1[1[1[1]. Aviation expert Alvin Lie has also questioned the consistency of efforts by the Indonesian Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy <a href="https://twitter.com/IndonesiaExpat/status/1817882275675336917″>[2[2[2[2[2[2[2[2].
In the past, Alvin Lie has emphasized the need for reasonable airline ticket prices, stating that prices should not be too high or too low, but rather fair and competitive [3[3[3[3[3[3[3[3].
the survey suggests that Indonesian passengers are generally satisfied with the current airline ticket prices, but there is still a need for increased transparency and awareness about the various components of ticket prices.
