"We continue to offer air travel accessibility to the public, especially those who needed to return to their hometown," he said.
He advised passengers who already booked flights to PSBB areas to either reroute, reschedule or refund their tickets.
Twenty Indonesian regions have implemented PSBB, namely Greater Jakarta; Pekanbaru; Makassar; West Java's Bandung city, Bandung regency, West Bandung regency, Cimahi city and Sumedang regency; Central Java's Tegal city; West Sumatra province; Banjarmasin city; Tarakan city; East Java's Surabaya city, Gresik regency and Sidoarjo regency; and Gowa regency in South Sulawesi.
