tarting Saturday morning, all domestic flights of the country’s largest low-cost carrier Lion Air will leave from Terminal 1 of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Banten, an official with state-owned airport operator PT Angkasa Pura II (AP II) said.
AP II head of corporate secretary and legal, Agus Haryadi, said his company had coordinated with relevant parties to ensure a smooth transfer of some Lion Air flights from Terminal 3 to Terminal 1.
"All Lion Air domestic passengers are being told to go to Terminal 1 for their departures. The passengers are also advised to arrive early so that their departures run smoothly," Agus said in a statement in Jakarta on Friday, adding that Lion Air international flights will still depart from Terminal 2.
With Terminal 1 being dedicated to Lion Air domestic flights, while all AirAsia flights are being relocated to Terminal 2, Agus said he expected a smooth integration of the newly built Terminal 3 and parts of Terminal 3 that are still under construction for national flag carrier Garuda Indonesia.
AP II expects Terminal 3 to be fully operational by March 2017, with supporting infrastructure, such as an airport train and shuttlebus network, expected to be ready by that time. (dmr)
