JAKARTA, July 29 (Xinhua) -- AirAsia Indonesia narrowed its operating loss by 6.9 percent year on year to 678.4 billion rupiah (about 37.5 million U.S. dollars) in the first half of 2026 despite rising global jet fuel prices and a weaker rupiah, the company said Wednesday.

The airline posted a revenue of 3.91 trillion rupiah, down 1.8 percent from the same period last year, as it prioritized more profitable routes rather than pursuing passenger volume growth.

Operational efficiency measures and tighter cost controls helped mitigate the impact of higher fuel prices and the depreciation of the rupiah against the U.S. dollar, the company said.

In the second half of 2026, AirAsia Indonesia plans to optimize high-potential routes, improve fleet utilization and further enhance operational efficiency, supported by AirAsia Group's network of more than 150 destinations across the Asia-Pacific region.
