According to Sandiaga, international airlines also support ticket price reductions. Airline such as AirAsia and several international airlines also gives their support so that airfare prices are expected to be more affordable, especially when entering the peak holiday period at the end of the year.

Sandiaga believes that the increase in air ticket prices that had occurred over a long period of time has the potential to reduce tourist visits to tourist destinations in Indonesia.

"We will encourage the addition of new flight routes," said Sandiaga Uno on Monday, August 29, 2022.

Minister Sandiaga also said that he was working on the management of a single authority for the Management of Priority Destinations in the Tourism Bill to prevent coordination that would create distortions among the community.
