TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Indonesian government on Thursday announced that it will exempt airline passengers from airport tax or passenger service charge (PSC) who depart from 13 airports. This decision had been taken to boost the aviation industry and tourism in general amidst the economically-crippling pandemic. This decision was taken after the ministry signed a stimulus deal with government-run airport operators and national aviation associations. This airport tax exemption is hoped to entice people to travel more and help revive the industry back to its feet. Read: Transportation Ministry to Scrap Airport TaxANTARA
