Although the proposed cost of Hajj flights increases by 10 percent, Hilman hopes that the final decision will be lower than that figure.

"At the moment, we propose 10 (percent), but we hope it can be much lower than that value. According to the agreement, we want to provide affordable services but also with good quality service,"

Hilman.

In the 2023 Hajj, Garuda Indonesia as an airline set the price of Hajj flight tickets at IDR 32.7 million. Hilman hopes that there will be a lower benchmark for Hajj flight ticket prices, which will affect the overall cost of the Hajj pilgrimage to become more affordable.

"Our hope as the organizer is to obtain a more rational and proportional price that will have an impact on a more affordable BPIH."
