ndonesian Consumer Foundation (YLKI) head Tulus Abadi has urged airport operator PT Angkasa Pura II (AP II) and the Transportation Ministry to investigate the cause of Sunday’s flood at the new Terminal 3 at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.
“The flood at Terminal 3 on Sunday afternoon showed problems in the drainage system in the terminal. It is a cause for concern,” Tulus was quoted as saying by news agency Antara on Monday.
Tulus demanded AP II and Transportation Ministry apply sanctions on the contractor, Kawahapejaya, a consortium led by publicly-listed state-owned company PT Wijaya Karya. Tulus said the flood was the responsibility of the contractor.
Tulus said he had also received complaints about other facilities at Terminal 3. “We have received complaints from passengers that Terminal 3 is yet to have a decent bus stop. The bus stop is a tent far away from the Terminal 3 building,” he said.
Some passengers said that the tent did not provide sufficient shelter from the weather and some had become wet waiting for the bus.
On Sunday, water inundated the entrance of the Terminal 3, an international airport terminal that has become the home of flag carrier Garuda.
AP II has apologized for the inconvenience.
