TANGERANG: Terminal 3, which is under construction, of the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport has reached the final development stage and will be fully operational in March.
The development includes the construction of a 4,000-meter runway and an elevated railway to connect the airport with Manggarai train station in Central Jakarta.
"The soft opening will take place in March next year," Haryanto from airport operator PT Angkasa Pura II said Friday.
He said the design of the terminal, which could accommodate up to four million passengers per year, would be futuristic and modern.
When the Terminal 3 is fully operational, the airport will have a total capacity of 38 million passengers per year.
Haryanto said there were two airlines, Air Asia and Mandala Air, which would be moved to the new terminal. They currently operate at Terminal 1.
Currently, part of the terminal serves haj flights and transnational migrant workers. -- JP
