TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - State airport operator Angkasa Pura II predicts a surge in passengers' traffic by 20 to 25 percent at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport tomorrow on Christmas Eve. December 24 is expected to see the peak of Christmas holiday traffic at the airport.
"Tomorrow would be the peak of the Christmas traffic, with an estimated increase in passengers of up to 25 percent," the airport's senior manager for branch communication and legal M. Holik Muardi told Tempo on Thursday, December 23.
Right now, Soekarno-Hatta's daily passenger traffic is between 80,000 and 85,000. Angkasa Pura II has prepared a number of strategies to anticipate surges during the Christmas and New Year holidays.
The operator has reactivated Terminal 1A for domestic flights. For international flights, Soekarno-Hatta Airport reactivated terminal 2F.
"This is to split up international passengers so that there is no congestion at Terminal 3," he said.
The airport has also set up three holding bays at international arrival terminals, where passengers would undergo health checks, check documents, and take PCR tests.
