Operasi Boyong will not disrupt the existing terminal’s operations as the relocation process will be focused in the evening, prior to the airport’s closing time,” said Faik Fahmi, AP I director, in a press release.

On Sunday, 100 airport employees had conducted simulations of the new terminal’s operation. “Hopefully, this final preparation will go well so that the new icon of people in Semarang and Central Java can be utilized by all Indonesians,” said Faik. (wir/wng)
