PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia, now branded as InJourney Airports, has been officially established following the merger of PT Angkasa Pura I (Persero) and PT Angkasa Pura II (Persero) on Monday, 9th of September.
Dony Oskaria, President Director of InJourney, a state-owned enterprise ecosystem overseeing the current and future operations of InJourney Airports, stated that this merger would position InJourney Airports as one of the world’s largest airport operators.
“Thank God we can say that, today, we are the fifth-largest airport operator in the world,” Oskaria told the press during the merger’s press conference on Monday.
Oskaria revealed that the merger of the former PT Angkasa Pura I (Persero) and PT Angkasa Pura II (Persero) was completed in a relatively short period. He noted that he had been given the mandate to oversee the merger of the two state-owned airport operators last December. In the next nine months, InJourney Airports will focus on aligning several commercial and operational regulations from the two previous entities.
“This process marks the beginning of a long transformation that we will undertake in the future, including adopting industry best practices for our airports,” Oskaria continued.
The establishment of InJourney Airports aligns with the government’s broader vision to enhance domestic connectivity and accessibility, aimed at supporting economic growth and boosting the competitiveness of Indonesia’s tourism sector. InJourney Airports, which will oversee 37 airports across Indonesia, is also targeting 170 million flight passengers by the end of this year.
“This year’s passenger numbers are targeted to reach 170 million by December across 37 airports. The transformation of airports under InJourney Airports’ management will continue to be strengthened,” said Faik Fahmi, President Director of InJourney Airports, in an official statement to the press on Tuesday, 10th September.
In addition, InJourney Airports has set ambitious targets for future growth in passenger numbers.
“This year’s goal is 170 million, but we have a target for the next five years that could be much higher—potentially exceeding 200 or even 250 million,” Fahmi remarked.
