As the Christmas 2025 and New Year 2026 celebrations approach, Indonesians are greeted with good news in the aviation sector. The Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) has prepared a series of stimulus policies aimed at making year-end travel more affordable, particularly through reduced airfare rates.
What Has the Ministry of Transportation Prepared?
The Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) has prepared a stimulus policy ahead of Christmas and New Year to help reduce airfares. This initiative includes VAT exemptions, lower fuel fees, and reduced aviation fuel (avtur) prices at several airports.
The ticket purchase program runs from October 22, 2025, to January 10, 2026, with estimated discounts of around 12–14 percent. The promotional flight period is set from December 22, 2025, to January 10, 2026, aiming to help travelers secure affordable flight tickets for popular holiday destinations during Christmas 2025.
Popular Routes Ahead of Christmas 2025
Several flight routes from Jakarta are now more affordable thanks to the Ministry of Transportation’s stimulus policy. Airfares for Jakarta–Medan, Jakarta–Balikpapan, and Jakarta–Bali routes have dropped ahead of Christmas 2025 and New Year 2026. This policy opens up opportunities for travelers to find cheap flight tickets while enjoying Christmas travel promotions without straining their budget.
Tips to Maximize the Promo and Stimulus
To take full advantage of this stimulus and secure cheap flights, travelers are advised to book early before the holiday rush begins. Keep an eye on the Christmas 2025 promo period to benefit from Kemenhub’s official fare reductions. Additionally, compare airline prices and choose flexible travel dates to get the best deal that fits your travel plans.

The stimulus policy from Kemenhub brings a breath of fresh air for travelers planning to fly during the major holiday season of Christmas 2025 and New Year 2026. With the focus on affordable flight tickets, especially for routes from Jakarta to Balikpapan, Medan, Bali, and beyond, now is the perfect time to start planning and looking for flight promos.
