Soekarno-Hatta to Partially Operate Terminals During the Pandemic

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - State-owned airport operator Angkasa Pura II announced on Wednesday said that the Soekarno-Hatta Airport will only partially operate its terminals throughout the COVID-19 pandemic as it will only operate Terminal 2D and 2E along with Terminal 3. 

“In the meantime, Terminal 1 (1A, 1B, 1C) and Terminal 2F are inoperable,” said Angkasa Pura president director Muhammad Awaluddin in a written report on Wednesday. 

He explained that the decision is to adjust to pandemic-based operating patterns that help the airport run effectively which comprises normal operation, slow down operation, and two stages of minimum operation levels.

Soekarno-Hatta Airport’s Terminal 1 and Terminal 2F were closed-off and replaced by Terminal 2D, 2E, and Terminal 3 that is able to accommodate the flow of passengers accordingly to the dynamic departure and arrival procedures amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Terminal 1 and 2F have also been made temporarily inoperable due to speed up the prioritized revitalization project at the terminals that are ongoing. 

Currently, air carriers such as Citilink, Sriwijaya, Airfast, Trigana Air, NAM Air, and Express Air all operate at Terminal 2D. While Terminal 2E will operate AirAsia (on June 19th), Batik Air, and Lion Air. 

Garuda Indonesia, Cathay Pacific, Ethiopian Airlines, All Nippon Airlines, Japan Airlines, Lion Air (international), Korean Air, Qatar Airways, Thai Lion, and Singapore Airlines will operate at Terminal 3.
