Know the Tariff and Definition of 'Airport Tax'?

Airport Tax is a type of tax that is charged to passengers when they are at the airport. In the past, this airport tax was levied separately on prospective airplane passengers.

However, in 2015 the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) imposed a new rule, namely that the payment of airport tax or airport tax will be included directly in the price of tickets sold by each airline.

The policy of incorporating airport tax fees into the ticket price is considered more practical and will make passengers feel more comfortable. Especially for those who are in a hurry to catch a flight.

Get to know 'Airport Tax'

Broadly speaking, airport tax or Passenger Service Charge (PSC) or commonly called Aircraft Passenger Service (PJP2U) is a fee for aircraft passenger services at the airport.
