The Indonesian government is preparing a policy to reduce operational costs in the aviation sector by setting import duties on aircraft spare parts at 0%. This initiative is designed to help airlines manage rising expenses, particularly amid increasing global fuel prices driven by geopolitical tensions. By lowering maintenance costs, the policy is expected to enhance operational efficiency and strengthen the resilience of the national aviation industry.

Despite a potential reduction in state revenue—previously recorded at IDR 500 billion from such imports in 2025—the government sees this measure as a strategic investment. The policy is projected to generate significant economic value, including up to USD 700 million annually in Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) activities, contribute around USD 1.49 billion to GDP, and create thousands of jobs. Additional supportive measures, such as 11% VAT incentives for domestic economy-class tickets, are also being prepared to maintain affordable air travel and support industry growth.
