ollowing a string of recent terror attacks that hit East Java and Riau, 1,900 CCTVs have been installed at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to strengthen security and optimize surveillance.

“The cameras have been very helpful in assisting the officers to improve security in the airport,” Tommy Hadi Bawono, the senior manager of the airport's aviation security rescue and fire fighting unit, told Antara on Friday.

He said intermittent security checks would be carried out to deal with possible threats, with the police collaborating with the airport in securing terminals and the transit-oriented development building.

“Surveillance with random checking has also been increased to six times a day, from four times,” said Tommy.

He added that patrol activities would be conducted by 4,020 airport personnel, which includes members of the Indonesian Military, the police and airport security guards. 

Muhammad Awaluddin, the director of PT Angkasa Pura II (Persero), said airport administrators were instructed to beef up security following the terror attacks in East Java and Riau.

“At 14 airports, we have instructed that security be tightened, with more random checks, and extra officers will be involved,” he said. (wng)
