Dibilang Tiket Pesawat Kemahalan, Dirut Garuda Indonesia Klaim Sudah 5 Tahun Tak Naikkan Harga

"Dibilang Tiket Pesawat Kemahalan, Dirut Garuda Indonesia Klaim Sudah 5 Tahun Tak Naikkan Harga" translates to "Said Airline Tickets Are Expensive, CEO of Garuda Indonesia Claims Not to Have Raised Prices for 5 Years"

Dream - President Director of PT Garuda Indonesia Tbk, Irfan Setiaputra, emphasized that the company's ticket prices have never increased in the past five years. Irfan's statement was a response to allegations that the airline's ticket prices are too expensive.

"Saying the ticket price is expensive, who said that? Where do you want to go? What time? What day? Our ticket prices have not increased in the last 5 years, 5 years!""

"revealed Irfan, during the presentation of the results of the Garuda Indonesia AGM quoted from Liputan6.com, Friday, May 24, 2024."

               

Irfan asserts that Garuda Indonesia has always followed the government regulations that govern the upper and lower limits of airplane ticket prices. He also ensures that the price paid by passengers is commensurate with the service they receive.

He explained that the ticket price has taken into account the comfort of the flight, delicious food, and on-time flights. "Delicious food, there is gulai rice. My pilot doesn't sleep. Paying a high price is one of the ways to ensure that the pilot doesn't sleep," he said.

However, as long as the ticket prices are not increased, according to Irfan, the price of aircraft fuel or avtur has already increased several times. Not to mention the increase in airport tax policy, which has increased by up to 100 percent, as well as the increase in pilot salaries, cabin crew, employees, directors, which has now increased to 6 people, and other factors. Behind the increase in various operational costs, the company still has to be able to make a profit.

"All prices are rising, everything is rising, how can we make a profit? The entire cost is increasing. Meanwhile, my phone keeps going back and forth, my boss asks for a ticket, I ran out of tickets, so complaining about expensive tickets is irrelevant."

"ujar Irfan." translates to "said Irfan."

               

Irfan said there is another alternative to fly with Garuda Indonesia at a relatively cheap price. One of them is to book tickets well in advance for traveling or vacationing.

"Book your tickets two or three months in advance, to Bali for example. Or depart on a Sunday, return on a Thursday, and you can get a discount of up to 40 percent."
