In addition, the Jakarta-Medan route which was originally IDR 1,971,909 is now IDR 1,870,995," she said through an official statement, Saturday (7/6/2025). She continued that the company fully supports the government's policy in maintaining the momentum of national economic growth by implementing a flight ticket discount policy.

Tashia added that this discount on flight tickets is also a form of Citilink's commitment to providing safe, comfortable and affordable flights for people who want to travel using air transportation during the school holidays. Citilink is always committed to ensuring that all flights run optimally by prioritizing aspects of security, safety and comfort for all customers. Meanwhile, PT Garuda Indonesia Tbk. (GIAA) expressed its full support for the government's plan to implement a flight fare discount program during the school holidays in the middle of this year. This program is considered a strategic step to expand public access to more affordable air transportation services without sacrificing quality.

Garuda Indonesia President Director, Wamildan Tsani, emphasized that Garuda is ready to be actively involved in implementing this policy, including from the operational side to adjusting fares. "We welcome this initiative as a form of cooperation between all stakeholders to ensure that connectivity between regions is maintained, especially when travel needs increase such as during the holiday season," said Wamildan in his statement, Thursday (5/6/2025). This is to support public mobility through affordable flights as part of the national responsibility.
