Pertamina Patra Niaga Prepares Over 80,000 KL of Avtur for 2026 Hajj Flights

PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, as the national energy provider, is demonstrating its unwavering commitment to facilitating the sacred Hajj pilgrimage for Indonesian Muslims. With over 80,000 kiloliters of aviation fuel (avtur) prepared, the company is ensuring that the thousands of Indonesian pilgrims undertaking their spiritual journey will have a seamless and reliable air travel experience.

This logistical feat involves meticulous planning and execution across 14 designated embarkation points throughout the archipelago. From Sumatra to Yogyakarta, Pertamina Patra Niaga's infrastructure is geared up to support the two distinct phases of Hajj flights, scheduled from late April through June 2026. The company's integrated supply chain system, from refinery to final delivery, is designed to guarantee the timely and safe distribution of avtur, a critical component for the national aviation sector.

Pertamina Patra Niaga ensures the reliability of avtur supply at all Hajj flight service points through an integrated supply chain system, starting from the Refinery, Fuel Terminal, Aviation Fuel Terminal to into-plane services. This is to guarantee the smooth operation of Hajj flights safely, on time, and in accordance with service standards.

Corporate Secretary Roberth MV Dumatubun emphasized the company's dedication to providing dependable energy services. "Pertamina Patra Niaga ensures the reliability of avtur supply at all Hajj flight service points through an integrated supply chain system," he stated. This assurance is particularly vital given the significant increase in avtur demand during the Hajj period, which is projected to be 1.2% higher than the previous year. The company's adaptive logistics management is prepared to meet these dynamic needs.

Furthermore, Pertamina Patra Niaga is leveraging digitalization through its Digital Ground Operation (DGO) system. This innovative approach allows for real-time monitoring and transaction validation, enhancing transparency, efficiency, and traceability in avtur distribution. For us at Republika, this initiative not only highlights Pertamina's operational excellence but also its commitment to good corporate governance and accountability. Ensuring the smooth journey of our Hajj pilgrims is a matter of national pride and religious duty, and Pertamina's preparedness is a testament to Indonesia's capability in managing such large-scale logistical operations.

The projection for avtur needs during this year's Hajj period reaches more than 80,000 KL, an increase of 1.2% compared to the previous Hajj period and around 5.6 percent above the average daily distribution.
