Minister of Finance  Sri Mulyani Indrawati announced on Saturday (1/3/2025) that under Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) No. 18/2025, travelers purchasing tickets between 1 March 2025  and 7 April 2025 for flights scheduled between 24 March 2025 and 7 April 2025 will pay only 5% VAT, with the government covering the remaining 6%.

“The reduction is 6 percent, so only 5 percent will be paid, contributing to lowering ticket prices by 13 to 14 percent,” Minister Sri Mulyani said, as quoted by antaranews.com.

The initiative aims to ease the financial burden on travelers and stimulate domestic air travel.
