Airfares to pioneer aviation, including Susi Air, the majority is fairly cheap. But, it was not all pioneer aviation that are served by Susi Air pegged at a low cost. Susi Air's aircraft ticket prices soaring higher in Papua. Why so? According to Operations Director of Susi Air, Christian von Strombeck, the flight terrain in Papua is much more difficult than in other regions in Indonesia.

For routes that have obtained subsidy funds from government, passangers only pay around Rp 200 thousand for a one-time of flight. To the commercial flights that do not get the subsidy, airfares around Rp 800 thousand for a one-time of flight. "In Papua, the commercial flight ticket prices can be up to Rp 1.5 million for a one-time of flight," said Christian.

The aircraft ticket prices are usually valid for a 1 hour flight with a distance of about 300 Km. This high price, according to Christian, adjusted to the flight path that is difficult to flown there. "If in other places can still fly until late afternoon. In Papua, can only be up at 14:00," he said.

Aircraft which conducting flight in Papua region should have arrived at the destination before 14.00 hrs. After 14.00, the weather there can't be unpredictable and became dangerous for the flights. The reasons that led to the commercial flight ticket prices in Papua who are served by Susi Air became expensive.
