00:00Market Review
00:16Hello viewers, how are you today?
00:18Back again with me, Prasetya Wiwo
00:20In the Market Review program
00:22Where we talk about economic movements in Indonesia
00:24You can watch our live streaming
00:26On AidxChannel.com
00:28Without further ado, let's start the Market Review
00:38Yes, viewers
00:40The government's plan to cover up
00:42Tourist tickets
00:44Is controversial
00:46Because the cover-up
00:48Will burden
00:50The passengers on land
00:52The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Investment
01:00Revealed a statement on the cover-up
01:02Of tourist tickets
01:04In a press briefing
01:06For the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Investment
01:08Odo RM Manhutu said
01:12The statement is still in the early stages
01:14Of discussion
01:16Which involves various sectors
01:18The statement
01:20Consider various factors
01:22Such as economic and social impacts
01:24In addition, the study also considered
01:26Efforts to support the increase
01:28The target of the Nusantara Tourist Movement
01:30Odo added
01:32The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Investment
01:34Continues to try to develop and increase
01:36High-quality tourism in Indonesia
01:38Through Bangga Berwisata in Indonesia
01:40Or BBWI
01:42The government set the target
01:44The Nusantara Tourist Movement
01:46As many as 1.25 to 1.5 billion trips
01:48In 2024
01:50With a potential income
01:52Pariwisata as large as 3.78 trillion rupiah
01:54Various sources
01:56IDX channel
02:18We are discussing with Wacana
02:20Which is still in the study stage
02:22You can say that
02:24But can you update first
02:26What is the condition of the aviation industry
02:28When asked lately
02:30Especially when I visited
02:32Yesterday's Eid
02:34What is it like?
02:36The air transportation industry
02:38Currently in a dilemmatic condition
02:40Because the upper limit
02:42Has been in effect since 2019
02:44And has never been reviewed
02:46Until today
02:48While the operating cost continues to increase
02:50And the latest condition
02:52Why is this dead again
02:54The latest condition
02:56There are additional challenges
02:58The value of rupiah is
03:00Over 16,000
03:02Rupiah per dollar
03:04America
03:06The price of Aftur
03:08Pertamina has not risen
03:10Because Pertamina
03:12Update the price of Aftur
03:14But my guess
03:16Per May 1
03:18There will be an increase in the price of Aftur
03:20This will of course
03:22Very heavy
03:24Our aviation industry
03:26If
03:28Yesterday I saw
03:30These days
03:32The number of passengers is still high
03:34Flying to Jakarta
03:36Both from Semarang
03:38From Medan
03:40This is full
03:42Even though it's full
03:44The number of passengers is still high
03:46Because the cost
03:48Continues to increase
03:50Okay, that's the condition
03:52Related to TBA
03:54Then the weakness of rupiah that can be monitored
03:56Influenced by the movement of the price of Aftur
03:58You said the potential has risen
04:00On May 1
04:02This is another interesting news
04:04As soon as it happened
04:06Coordination meeting to hold
04:08Tourist Parade
04:10How do you feel about this?
04:12Point of view, Mr. Alvin
04:14Okay, I
04:16Of course
04:18I really disagree with this speech
04:20Even
04:22It can be a speech, I'm surprised
04:24If this is indeed
04:26I don't know yet
04:28Who will manage this tourist parade
04:30Is it the Ministry
04:32Tourism and
04:34Creative Industry
04:36Or e-journey as a holding company
04:38If this becomes a program
04:40From the ministry
04:42The ministry's program should be
04:44Funded by the PBN
04:46Not from the community
04:48Imagine what would happen
04:50Later if each ministry
04:52Has a program and funds
04:54From the community
04:56Then what do the people do?
04:58Don't forget
05:00When this plane passenger
05:02Bought a ticket, it was funded by the PBN 11%
05:04Why is this going to be funded again?
05:06If this will be managed
05:08By e-journey
05:10This e-journey is BUMN
05:12What is the authority of BUMN to fund
05:14Funded by the community
05:16If you need capital, ask the government
05:18Who established the company
05:20So if this program
05:22Visible for
05:24The ministry
05:26From the PBN
05:28But if it is not approved by the PBN
05:30Don't force it to be funded by the community
05:32What is the sin of this plane passenger
05:34So you have to bear the burden
05:36And why only the plane
05:38What about the others
05:40What are the benefits of flying
05:42Because the principle of
05:44IKO and IATA
05:46This is
05:48No service, no charge
05:50So in the ticket
05:52There is a ticket price
05:54There is a passenger service charge
05:56From the airport
05:58There is a tax
06:00PBN 11%
06:02Iran
06:045,000 rupiah
06:06There are ups and downs
06:08Tax is a state regulation
06:10But if this is funded
06:12What are the benefits
06:14For the ticket buyer
06:16Remember this ticket is
06:18The link between the passenger contract
06:20Between the flight crew and the passengers
06:22Why is it funded
06:24And if the government wants to fund
06:26From the community
06:28Just fund it
06:30But the tax
06:32Which is attached to the ticket
06:34It means you want the money
06:36Don't want to work
06:38And don't want to face public opinion
06:40Okay okay
06:42But from your own point of view
06:44What factors
06:46Finally pushed
06:48There is a speech like this
06:50Although this is still in
06:52Very early stages
06:54Yes
06:56Maybe this is related to
06:58Tourism fund
07:00Which
07:02Maybe initiated by
07:04The Ministry of Tourism
07:06Okay
07:08But if it is related
07:10With the tourism fund
07:12Just work
07:14Don't just collect funds from the people
07:16Hmm
07:18I don't know exactly
07:20Who is behind this
07:22What is the importance
07:24Okay but if we look at
07:26You have also given
07:28Statement if I'm not mistaken
07:30In some media that
07:32There is no previous information
07:34In the sense that it is not yet
07:36Stage
07:38Even a meeting there
07:40What do you see
07:42From this speech
07:44Mr. Alvin
07:46That's why the government needs transparency
07:48And accountability
07:50That
07:52A close invitation from the Ministry
07:54Kom
07:56That's what
07:58Menko
08:00Marine fest
08:02Okay
08:04The title is clear
08:06Coordination meeting
08:08President's regulations
08:10About this
08:12Tourism fund
08:14This is already a stage
08:16President's regulations
08:18If it is not directly rejected by the public
08:20Broadly
08:22Okay
08:24And you include
08:26Maybe early enough
08:28When I found out about this
08:30Mr. Alvin
08:32It's true that I was trusted
08:34Friends to be
08:36The expert in INACA
08:38Indonesia National Air Carriers Association
08:40Well
08:42The task of the expert is to provide
08:44Considerations
08:46When there are strategic issues
08:48Including this is a strategic issue
08:50Well
08:52That's why I know there's an invitation
08:54And I'm clear
08:56Reject
08:58From all the experts
09:00None of them agree
09:02Hmm
09:04Okay
09:06We'll see what it's like
09:08The situation continues
09:10With the polemic that happened
09:12Now we discuss again in the next segment
09:14Mr. Alvin, we'll be away for a while
09:16And the audience stay with us
09:20Thank you
09:50Mr. Alvin, we'll be away for a while
09:54And the audience stay with us
09:56Thank you
09:58Thank you
10:00Thank you
10:02Thank you
10:04Thank you
10:06Thank you
10:08Thank you
10:10Thank you
10:12Thank you
10:14Thank you
10:16Thank you
10:18We can see that the number of aircrafts operating in Indonesia has decreased to 400.
10:26So, it is not yet back to normal for the number of aircrafts operating in Indonesia.
10:34Then we look at the target of the Nusantara Tourist Movement or WISNUS.
10:381.25 to 1.5 billion trips in 2024.
10:46Then the potential of tourism income reaches Rp3.078 trillion.
10:58That is the target of the Nusantara Tourist Movement that is expected to boost the national economic growth.
11:05We are back again to talk with Mr. Alvin Lee, flight expert.
11:09Mr. Alvin, if we look at some of the components of aircraft pricing, you have mentioned some of them.
11:16Such as premium, overhaul, and upture.
11:22So, the dilemma that the aviation industry is facing in Indonesia,
11:29will it increase if this agreement is finalized?
11:35So, if this agreement is finalized,
11:42it will increase the cost that passengers have to pay when buying a ticket.
11:49The danger is that the passengers will assume that the upture is the price of the ticket,
11:55even though it is not the price of the upture ticket.
11:58And this will face the anger of the passengers,
12:02first of all, the airline, and secondly, the Ministry of Transportation.
12:06Because it seems that the price of the upture ticket is increasing.
12:09Even though the reality is not like that.
12:13The current condition is dilemmatic.
12:15The purchasing power of our people is not strong.
12:18The airline's cost is high.
12:21It was seen earlier that the number of aircraft currently in operation is 425.
12:27That is a usable number.
12:30If it is in a maintenance condition, it is not counted there.
12:36This is also difficult to reach an average of 70% per flight.
12:45Indeed, there are certain days that can be filled up to 90%, even 100%.
12:50But not every flight, every schedule can be filled like that.
12:54There are even certain routes,
12:58even if the aircraft is filled up to 120% of the capacity,
13:03in addition to the passengers sitting, there are also passengers standing, for example.
13:06That route is still at a loss.
13:08Because the cost has increased, but the price of the ticket cannot increase.
13:12This will add more burden.
13:14Let's see how.
13:16I don't understand those who have this kind of thinking.
13:20That's it.
13:21Alvin, then if you said earlier,
13:24INAKA itself is already involved in the invitation you said earlier.
13:30Is Sejo's position in rejecting this speech or what?
13:38And how about the industry players, other related airlines?
13:43Yes, the ones who are directly affected are the airlines.
13:48Informally, I also talked to the leaders of airlines,
13:53both public and private.
13:56They said, in this condition, the people are already excited.
14:00This is going to be added again.
14:02Later, those who get their money will be beaten by us.
14:06So that we ourselves can breathe.
14:10This is difficult.
14:12Conditions like this will certainly make it very difficult for airlines.
14:19That's it.
14:21So how do you see it?
14:23Because this has become a public consumption.
14:26If we look at it, what needs to be done?
14:29How will the impact be on the tourism industry?
14:33Then if we look at the aviation industry itself.
14:36How do you see it, sir?
14:39First, if this is included,
14:44the cost paid by passengers will automatically increase.
14:49Therefore, usually in economic law,
14:53if the price goes up, the demand will go down, right?
14:56When the demand goes down, it will be more affected.
15:00Not only airlines, airports are also affected.
15:03Because the number of passengers will go down,
15:06airport revenue will also go down, right?
15:08When the airport is quiet,
15:10tenants at the airport will also be affected.
15:14Remember when we experienced COVID-19,
15:18all the stalls at the airport were closed.
15:22And this has a tremendous impact everywhere.
15:25I'm curious, if we want to increase tourism,
15:30we will actually give incentives.
15:33For example, modern supermarkets.
15:39What are the incentives?
15:41Provide free parking facilities.
15:43Or if you buy more than Rp100,000,
15:46you will be given a coupon to pay for free parking.
15:49How can we use that money?
15:52I really don't understand.
15:54Okay, okay.
15:56So what considerations do the government need to make
15:59before implementing this policy?
16:02I...
16:05The government should find out
16:08whose idea this is,
16:10and who gave birth to this idea,
16:13as well as to the implementation of the President's Regulations.
16:16This needs to be evaluated.
16:18It is not qualified to be an official in the government.
16:23This is very inappropriate.
16:25Then burden the people again.
16:27What is burdening the people?
16:29Next, I also want to...
16:31As mentioned earlier, the number of domestic tourists, etc.
16:34I want to know, what is the definition of tourist?
16:38Are all travelers considered tourists?
16:42I don't agree.
16:44Coincidentally, last January,
16:47I was trusted by my friends to conduct a survey
16:50at five major airports in Indonesia.
16:52With a fairly large number of respondents,
16:56more than 7,400.
16:58We conducted the survey directly with a boarding pass holder.
17:02This is valid.
17:04Of all the passengers we interviewed,
17:08only 12.1% of them
17:11took a flight to go on vacation or tourism.
17:16Okay.
17:18So, if you look at
17:21the number of flight passengers for tourism, it's a big mistake.
17:24Most of them are in government affairs,
17:27business,
17:29the bulk of them are there.
17:31Then there are those who are invited,
17:34those who are with their families,
17:36those who are studying.
17:38Only 12.1% of them are tourists.
17:41So, don't assume that all the passengers
17:45are tourists.
17:47This is clearly wrong.
17:49Okay. It can't be equated like that, Mr. Alvin.
17:52Correct.
17:54So, what are the strategies that need to be applied?
17:56Are there any other mechanisms?
17:58We will discuss it in the next segment.
18:00We will take a break for a while, Mr. Alvin and Mr. Mirsa.
18:02We will be right back after the break.
18:20Okay, Mr. Mirsa.
18:22The more interesting our work with Mr. Alvin Lee,
18:24it's like a proverb.
18:26There is a forest or a forestry
18:28from the tourism sector
18:30that is included in the price of air tickets
18:33in Indonesia.
18:35Even though it's still early,
18:37it's still a form of a proverb.
18:39But it seems that it has also been exposed to the public.
18:42Mr. Alvin, we will continue this discussion.
18:44If we talk about the win-win solution,
18:49what will it be like?
18:51If we look at the price of air tickets,
18:52there are already a lot of complaints
18:57from the users, Mr. Alvin.
19:00Okay.
19:02First of all, we need to know
19:04the purpose of this tourism fund.
19:07I heard that the target is quite fantastic, 2 trillion.
19:12Okay.
19:142 trillion is not a small amount of money.
19:16And it's not clear whether it's 2 trillion per year
19:19or 2 trillion forever.
19:20Yes.
19:22Then also, who will manage it?
19:25Will it be a ministry program
19:28or from the Ministry of Tourism?
19:30If it's a ministry, of course it must be from the Ministry of Tourism.
19:33If it's the Ministry of Tourism,
19:35of course it must be managed by the government.
19:38Well, if this is really to mobilize tourists,
19:42yes, the beneficiaries directly,
19:46the business owners in tourism,
19:48for example, hotel owners,
19:51tourist attractions managers,
19:53are invited to speak
19:55and look for a funding solution together.
19:58It's not that the beneficiaries are burdened
20:01by the flight attendants.
20:03Remember, there are quite a few flight attendants
20:06who are also forced to fly
20:09because there is a huge interest.
20:11Sometimes it's also for visitors,
20:14visiting sick friends.
20:16Sometimes it's also for treatment.
20:19Okay, but if we look at the current situation,
20:23is it right?
20:25Even though it won't happen later,
20:27but maybe there are other mechanisms that are applied.
20:30Yes, of course, again,
20:33the government must be responsible.
20:36If this is a ministry,
20:38it must be through the Ministry of Tourism.
20:40There is no off-balance sheet.
20:42If this is for the Ministry of Tourism,
20:44yes, if you dare to form the Ministry of Tourism,
20:46if you dare to fund it,
20:48don't burden the people again.
20:51So it must be clear.
20:53The problem is later,
20:55the owner of the program,
20:57in the implementation of the program,
20:59cooperates with associations and so on.
21:01For example, promoting together,
21:03for example, holding an event together,
21:06it must be managed business to business.
21:09Not burdening the people.
21:11Each one gets its benefits.
21:13But if this is clear,
21:14Mr. Alvin, I use the terminology
21:17used by Mr. Tulus Abadi.
21:20Okay.
21:22This is Pungli, Pungutan Liar.
21:24Hmm.
21:26Okay.
21:28You said this is part of Pungli, right, Mr. Alvin?
21:32If this becomes the language that will be implemented later?
21:36Yes, because in the ticketing system,
21:39there must be no other costs
21:41that are not directly related to the service
21:44in the ticketing system.
21:46Okay.
21:48So far, the attitude of the action
21:51that has been carried out by industry players
21:54from the aviation sector itself,
21:57what will it be like if this term came up?
22:00Clearly, it will convey a burden to the government,
22:03they will not agree.
22:05Okay.
22:07If the government has a policy to form a tourism fund,
22:09please, but don't burden the price of plane tickets.
22:13Hmm.
22:15Okay. But if we talk about the movement of the price of plane tickets,
22:19what do you think about the current position?
22:22Is it ideal enough?
22:24Or is it because the operating cost has increased,
22:27and the upper limit rate has not changed,
22:30does it need to be solved first?
22:33This also needs a solution.
22:35Yes.
22:36Because the current price of plane tickets
22:39remains at the level of the upper limit rate.
22:42Because the airline can no longer lower the price
22:46because the operating cost has been pushed up.
22:49Okay.
22:51Then the second is the low limit rate regulation.
22:55This is not regulated in the law,
22:58this is only regulated in the ministerial regulation.
23:01This low limit rate also makes it difficult for the airline.
23:03Why?
23:05Because there are certain flights,
23:08for example, night flights,
23:11the seats are empty.
23:14Well, this can be used,
23:17the seats are not empty,
23:19sold at a cheap price.
23:21And this is what is applied by Malaysian airlines.
23:25Instead of having an empty seat,
23:27it is sold at a low price,
23:29the important thing is that there is revenue.
23:30Not looking for profit there.
23:33This also benefits the airline,
23:35because instead of being empty, you still get money,
23:38even if it reduces the loss a little.
23:40This also helps the public
23:43who are unable to buy at the standard price,
23:47waiting for the cheap one, of course,
23:49by reducing the convenience.
23:51The schedule is not comfortable and so on.
23:55And of course you can get it too.
23:56What we hope is that the low limit rate will be eliminated first.
24:01Then later, if possible,
24:04the high limit rate will also be increased,
24:07so that the airline can be flexible.
24:10When the revenue rate is high, the price will increase.
24:14But when the revenue rate is low,
24:17the price can even go down.
24:19Therefore, our price will be flexible again.
24:22Not like now, where everything is set at the high limit rate.
24:26Okay, with this growing discourse,
24:29do you think it will eventually become a challenge
24:31for the future Indonesian aviation industry?
24:34Or can it be combined with incentives
24:37that will probably also be scrapped
24:40for our aviation industry?
24:43For incentives, I mean ...
24:46Is it related to the price of tickets?
24:48Then is it related to the implementation of tourism incentives?
24:51Tourism incentives, we clearly reject.
24:53In any form, do not relate it to the price of tickets.
24:58Do not relate it to airplane passengers.
25:01Because that's the question.
25:04Why only airplane passengers?
25:06How about luxury cars?
25:08How about buses and so on?
25:10Then for the plane,
25:13the ticket rate is indeed
25:17INAKA and the Ministry of Transportation
25:20have already in-depth research,
25:28including the mechanism of setting the high limit rate and so on.
25:33We hope to reach an agreement soon
25:38for mutual good.
25:40The public can also enjoy it.
25:42Airlines can also live properly.
25:45That's it.
25:47An interesting statement to reflect
25:48on the current topic in the public.
25:51There is an effort to attract tourism incentives
25:55that are included in the price of airplane tickets.
25:58There have been several rejections.
26:00It seems that it has been conveyed by Mr. Alvin Lin
26:03and also representing INAKA, right, Mr. Alvin?
26:05That's right.
26:07So we just have to wait for the reaction from the government
26:10whether this will continue or not in the future.
26:12Mr. Alvin, thank you very much for the time and sharing
26:15that you have conveyed to the audience today.
26:16Good luck with your activities in Bali.
26:19Salam sehat, Mr. Alvin.
26:21Viewers, don't leave your seat
26:24because we will be back in a moment with another interesting topic,
26:27which is Eid al-Adha.
26:29The price increase is not over yet.
26:46Thank you.
