The ministry's Director General of Air Transportation, Maria Kristi Endah Murni, urged the Airport Management Unit (UPBU) and Airport Business Entities (BUBU) to give clear information to users about air transportation services regarding the ceiling tariff (TBA) and floor tariff (TBB) for all flight routes.
"Please use clear information media to air transport service users and the general public in the form of banners, displays, and videos at airports related to TBA and TBB for all flight routes," she noted in an official statement received here, Thursday.
Murni also insisted that airport administrators should inform passengers to report to the airport operator regarding any violation of air transport fares that are not in accordance with the applicable regulations.
