tate-owned airport operator PT Angkasa Pura II (AP II) has launched a campaign to warn residents living near Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Banten, to avoid flying kites around the flight zone.
The efforts have been intensified following complaints from pilots particularly during the dry season, when such activities are rife.
“Due to complaints from pilots, we would like to repeat our warning because [the kites] will disrupt the flights,” the airport’s kite control unit head Endang Sudradjat told reporters on Monday as quoted by kompas.com.
“The number may not be a lot, but it hampers the job of the airport’s aviation security personnel,” Endang said.
Separately, AP II public relations manager Yado Yarismano said the company had formed a team, which was specifically tasked with clamping down on people flying kites around the area, he added.
“The team is of long-standing and it involves people from nearby community and neighborhood units,” Yoda said. (fac)
