JAYAPURA – Garuda Indonesia through the NKRI discount program from January to December 2024, provides special rates for the Civil Servants of the Papua Provincial Government who travel domestically for official or official travel.
The discount was welcomed positively by the Expert Staff of the Governor of Papua, Elsye Rumbekwan. It will help the Papua Provincial Government to save operational costs for the leaders.
"Especially for official travel such as coordination outside the area. So we welcome the discount program," explained Expert Staff, Elsye, on the sidelines of the socialization of the Garuda Indonesia and Papua Provincial Government programs, Friday (1/19/2024), in Jayapura City.
Elsye added that the use of Garuda Indonesia aircraft in every trip of the Papua Provincial Government refers to the Government Procurement Policy Institute (LKPP) policy.
Even in the procurement of goods and services of government agencies, the purchase of Garuda flight tickets has been included in the e-catalog.
The announcement of special prices for civil servants is also by the General Cost Standards (SBU) set by the Ministry of Finance as the state treasurer.
"If given a price of around IDR 4 million for the Jayapura-Jakarta route, I think it is good. Because usually in June-July prices soar. Especially for Eid and Christmas. But earlier, Garuda Indonesia guaranteed a basic price for civil servants who travel from January to December this year."
"Of course, we are grateful and hope that the general public can also enjoy this price," hoped Elsye.
The Sales Manager of Garuda Indonesia for Jayapura Branch Office, Nur Endefita Sari said that the provision of special tariffs for Civil Servants of the Papua Provincial Government refers to the ceiling value of the official travel budget set by the local government.
"For example, for the domestic return round trip Jayapura- Jakarta, we give a price of IDR 8.3 million from a normal IDR 11 million."
"But this price is specifically for official travel for civil servants, so they will have to include a letter of assignment and an employee card," explained Nur.
While the special rate also applies to one follower, such as an aide or family. Bookings can be made at Garuda Indonesia offices or designated parties. ***
