So far there was no
certainty about the stipulation of ceiling airfare as there were many
components that constituted the price. The parties concerned were in no
condition to stipulate the reasonable price level, although meetings to discuss
the mater had been held twice. Djoko Mardjatmojo, Director of Air
Transportation, Director General of Air Transportation, Ministry of
Transportation, stated that he had analyzed the revised Regulation of the
Ministry of Transportation KM 16 – 2010 on the mechanism of calculation
formulae and stipulation of ceiling tariff for passengers of the economy class
scheduled flights proposed by INACA. In accordance with KM 26 year 2010 the
Directorate General of Air Transportation would evaluate this price every 2
years or if there was any significant factor which affected airline activities.
The change had to be considering: if litre in 3
consecutive months or there was change of Rupiah exchange rate against USD and
other price components and other factors which caused total change in air
transportation cost at least 10% in 3 months.
Meanwhile INACA confirmed they were still re-calculating
ceiling tariff and were planning to settle the case as soon as possible. The
longer delayed, the higher the cost spent by airlines. Now there were many
factors which were the components of pricing, like type of aircraft, flying
distance etc. which was why INACA was not in a condition to decide when the
final calculation would be.
According to INACA every airline had their different
need. For that matter after receiving calculating outcome from various
airlines, INACA would stipulate a reasonable price acceptable by all. Every
airline was difference was expected to be not too wide. After being calculated by
INACA, the proposed tariff would be forwarded to the Ministry of Transportation
or testing.
INACA
also pled the Ministry of Transportation to understand the problems faced by
airlines today like fluctuation of Rupiah value against USD. So far stipulation
of airline ceiling tariff was divided into three service categories i.e.
maximum standard where 100% tariff application was permitted, medium standard
service 90% and minimum standard tariff 85% permitted.
