Why this matters

As an archipelagic nation, Indonesia relies heavily on domestic air travel for commerce and connectivity between islands. Fluctuations in global crude oil and jet fuel prices directly impact airline operating costs, making this surcharge adjustment a direct pass-through mechanism that affects ticket affordability for millions of passengers annually.
