Pertamina cuts aviation fuel prices by 10% nationwide

PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, Indonesia's state-owned fuel distributor, has implemented a nationwide 10% reduction in aviation fuel prices, effective June 1, 2026. This adjustment aligns with a decrease in global energy prices and is expected to alleviate costs for airlines and stimulate the aviation sector.

The price cut applies across Indonesia, with notable reductions seen at major airports. For instance, at Soekarno-Hatta Aviation Fuel Terminal, prices dropped from Rp24,580 to Rp22,190 per liter. Similarly, Bali's Ngurah Rai AFT saw prices fall from Rp26,190 to Rp23,480 per liter, and Kualanamu AFT in North Sumatra experienced a decrease from Rp25,720 to Rp23,090 per liter.

Roberth M.V. Dumatubun, Corporate Secretary of Pertamina Patra Niaga, explained that the price adjustment follows government regulations and established pricing mechanisms, primarily based on the Mean of Platts Singapore (MOPS) Kerosene/Jet benchmark. "When global energy prices move downward, the adjustment will be reflected in aviation fuel prices in accordance with the applicable mechanism," he stated.

The company anticipates that these lower fuel prices will help reduce airlines' operating costs, thereby supporting domestic flight activity. Furthermore, more competitive fuel prices could bolster tourism growth, enhance regional connectivity, and invigorate economic activity throughout the country. While international flight fuel prices will continue to be influenced by market conditions and regional competition, Pertamina remains committed to ensuring a secure and reliable supply of aviation fuel for domestic operations, serving 72 terminals nationwide.
