Management at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport has clarified reports regarding recent technical issues at Terminal 2D.
Agus Haryadi, the head of the corporate and legal division at state-owned airport operator PT Angkasa Pura II, said an elevator at the terminal malfunctioned because of a faulty gearbox.

“Currently the elevator is out of service until further examinations can take place,” he said. (kes)
