The story
Founded by Government of Indonesia in 1964.1
The history of Angkasa Pura traces back to President Sukarno’s vision of developing world-class airports in Indonesia. To realize this goal, Perusahaan Negara (PN) Angkasa Pura Kemayoran was established on 20 February 1962, with the responsibility of managing Kemayoran Airport in Jakarta, the country's first international airport. After two years of operation, PN Angkasa Pura Kemayoran assumed full control of the airport's assets and operations from the Ministry of Transportation on 20 February 1964. On 17 May 1965, the name PN Angkasa Pura Kemayoran was changed to Perusahaan Negara (PN) Angkasa Pura. The company gradually expanded its operations by managing airports in major Indonesian cities such as Denpasar, Medan, Surabaya, Balikpapan, and Makassar.
In 1974, PN Angkasa Pura was converted into a public corporation (Perusahaan Umum or Perum). Kemayoran Airport ceased operations in 1985, and Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, then known as Cengkareng Airport, replaced Jakarta's Kemayoran Airport as Indonesia's main international gateway. Consequently, Perum Angkasa Pura II was established to manage both Soekarno-Hatta International Airport and Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport. A year later, Perum Angkasa Pura was then renamed to Perum Angkasa Pura I. Over time, the operational scope of both companies became more defined, with Angkasa Pura I responsible for managing airports in central and eastern Indonesia, while Angkasa Pura II primarily oversaw airports in western Indonesia.
Between 1992 and 1993, Perum Angkasa Pura I was transformed into a limited company (Perseroan Terbatas or PT) with full ownership by the government of Indonesia. The company was officially renamed PT Angkasa Pura I (Persero) on 24 April 1993. Later, on 13 January 2022, the company underwent another name change, reverting to PT Angkasa Pura I.
In October 2021, the government officially transferred the majority of Angkasa Pura I and Angkasa Pura II's shares to Aviasi Pariwisata Indonesia (Injourney) as part of efforts to establish a state-owned aviation and tourism holding company. In July 2024, InJourney Airports was officially launched which is resulted from the merging of both Angkasa Pura I and Angkasa Pura II as part of efforts to form an internal subholding within InJourney specializing in airport management. The company then transferred the majority of its shares in PT Angkasa Pura Hotel and PT Angkasa Pura Properti to Injourney Aviation Services.
Following its founding, InJourney Airports has pursued expansion through strategic joint ventures. For instance, in October 2024, InJourney Airports and Incheon International Airport Corporation (IIAC) signed an MOU to establish a joint venture aimed at operating airports in Asia and the Middle East, including locations in Kuwait, Uzbekistan, and the Philippines. Prior to this, the two companies had already collaborated in operating Hang Nadim International Airport in Batam.
