S
tate-owned airport operator PT Angkasa Pura II (AP II) has prepared 500 extra flights at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to anticipate an increase in passenger numbers during the Idul Fitri holiday this year.
The company’s president director, Budi Karya Sumadi, told The Jakarta Post on Friday that the extra flights were being scheduled for 10 days, from June 28 to July 7.
“Fifty extra flights will be operated every day for 10 days,” Budi said. He added that it was estimated that nearly 100,000 passengers would travel via the international airport during Idul Fitri this year, an increase of about 10 percent over the approximately 90,000 people last year.
Budi said there were no additional flights prepared for other airports under its management as AP II did not see any significant increase in the number of passengers using them.
AP II operates 13 airports nationwide. The airports include Kualanamu International Airport in Medan (North Sumatra), Husein Sastranegara International Airport in Bandung (West Java) and Supadio Airport in Pontianak (West Kalimantan). (vny/ebf)
