Jakarta, VIVA – Angkasa Pura Indonesia (InJourney Airports) successfully recorded an increase in air passenger numbers and cargo transport volumes across 37 airports throughout 2024.

He added that aircraft movements declined by 4 percent, from 1.21 million flights in 2023 to 1.16 million flights in 2024.
The rise in passenger numbers amidst a decline in flight movements indicates that InJourney Airports, together with airlines, have successfully optimized flight slot times at the airports and boosted passenger load factors to high levels.
Fahmi explained that the increase in passenger numbers was driven by strong collaboration within the aviation ecosystem to maintain a positive trend in the post-pandemic aviation market.
"InJourney Airports served 155.9 million passengers in 2024 thanks to close collaboration with all stakeholders," he stated.
Fahmi emphasized that InJourney Airports is committed to continuously driving the growth of the aviation market and strengthening air connectivity in Indonesia by opening new routes and increasing flight frequencies on existing routes.
"This effort aims to further enhance the aviation sector's contribution to national economic and tourism growth," Fahmi said.
He assured that the number of passengers at all InJourney Airports reflects the total number of air passengers in Indonesia.
In total, InJourney Airports served around 200 flight routes in 2024, with a composition of 60 percent domestic routes and 40 percent international routes.
“Growth in both domestic and international routes was excellent and aligned last year, in line with the government's policy of designating 17 international airports since April 2024. Of these 17 international airports, 16 are managed by InJourney Airports. This policy enables the hub-and-spoke concept to function effectively,” he explained.
For reference, the five busiest airports based on passenger movements last year were Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Tangerang (54.8 million passengers), I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport in Bali (23.9 million passengers), Juanda Airport in Surabaya (14 million passengers), Sultan Hasanuddin Airport in Makassar (9.6 million passengers), and Kualanamu Airport in Deli Serdang (7.1 million passengers).
