Indonesia tourism air connectivity push

Overview

Indonesia’s government and private partners began coordinating a national effort to increase air links to cultural heritage sites. In July 2026 the Culture Ministry, state carrier Garuda Indonesia and travel platform InJourney announced plans for new international flights to Yogyakarta, Jambi and other destinations to boost visitor numbers to sites such as Borobudur and Prambanan.

By early August 2026 the focus expanded to a regional level when the Banyuwangi regency in East Java signed a partnership with InJourney and airport operator Angkasa Pura. The agreement aims to develop Banyuwangi as an international‑class tourism hub, improve the Gandrung Sewu Festival, and add flight routes to support both foreign and domestic travelers. The two snapshots together trace the rollout from a broad cultural‑tourism strategy to concrete implementation in a specific province.
