T
he opening date for Terminal 3 Ultimate (T3U) at Soekarno Hatta International Airport (SHIA) in Tangerang has been postponed. The opening, originally planned for June 20, was postponed as the new terminal allegedly failed to meet the qualifications set by the Ministry of Transportation.
Prior the cancellation, the Ministry of Transportation had conducted a trial and the results allegedly showed that the new terminal had an electricity system problem.

“We apologize for not being able to facilitate the seasonal exodus (mudik),” said Budi Karya Sumadi, President Director of state airport operator Angkasa Pura II, according to kompas.com.
Budi added that the problem will be fixed by the terminal staff and will soon meet the safety standards.
T3U will cater to both domestic and international flights run by national flag carrier Garuda Indonesia. International flights run by various other airlines will move to the new terminal as well. (wir/asw)
