Trend in Aviation Fuel Consumption in Indonesia’s Transport Sector

According to data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), the consumption of aviation turbine fuel (avtur) in the Indonesian transportation sector will increase by 2024.

The ESDM Ministry defines avtur as aviation turbine fuel, a special fuel for turbine/jet aircraft, or a special kerosene with a distillation range of 150°C - 250°C.

This is as stated in the Handbook of Energy & Economic Statistics of Indonesia 2024.

In 2024, the consumption of avtur in the transportation sector reached 4.58 million kiloliters (kl), an increase of 5.65% year-on-year (yoy).

The increase in avtur consumption in 2024 marks a three-year rise since 2022, as shown in the chart.

However, referring to data over the 2014-2024 period, the highest consumption of avtur in the Indonesian transportation sector occurred in 2018, reaching 5.72 million kl.

Previously, Pertamina raised the price of avtur for domestic and international flights. The increase was compared between the periods of March 1-31 and April 1-30, 2026.

According to Pertamina's data, the price of avtur at Soekarno Hatta International Airport for domestic flights was previously IDR 13,656.51 per liter, now increasing to IDR 23,551.08 per liter, an increase of 72.45%.

For international flights, the price increased by 80.32%, from US$0.742 per liter to US$1.338 per liter.

The Chairman of the National Airline Association of Indonesia (Inaca), Denon Prawiraatmadja, said this increase was in line with previous forecasts.

"The price of avtur will rise in line with global prices due to the impact of the geopolitical crisis in the Middle East," said Denon in a press release on Wednesday (1/4/2026), quoted from Katadata.co.id.
