Soekarno-Hatta Airport Toll Road Tariffs to Rise Following Regulatory Adjustment

Regulatory Basis for Tariff Increase

The upcoming increase in Soekarno-Hatta Airport Toll Road tariffs is grounded in Minister of Public Works Decision No. 1325/KPTS/M/2025. This decision aligns with existing Indonesian legislation that mandates regular toll tariff adjustments. Specifically, Article 48 paragraph (3) of Law No. 38/2024 on Roads and Article 68 paragraph (1) of Government Regulation No. 15/2005 on Toll Roads require tariff evaluations every two years based on inflation rates.

Impact of Inflation on Toll Tariffs

The tariff adjustment is primarily driven by inflationary pressures that affect operational and maintenance costs. As inflation rises, the toll operator faces increased expenses for maintaining and managing the toll road infrastructure. The biennial adjustment mechanism ensures that the toll road operator can maintain service quality while keeping pace with economic changes.

Infrastructure and Transportation Context

The Soekarno-Hatta Airport Toll Road, also known as the Sedyatmo Toll Road, is a critical transportation artery connecting Jakarta to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. As one of Indonesia's key infrastructure projects, its operation significantly impacts both daily commuters and air travelers. The tariff adjustment will likely have implications for transportation costs and potentially affect airport access for various user groups.
