“The power supply is interrupted only in Terminal 3, which serves international flights,” Holik said on Monday, September 18, 2023.

The electricity supply to Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and Terminal 3 serving the domestic flights operated normally.

Holik confirmed there were no significant flight disruptions due to the power cut. “We ensure that all flights are running smoothly today. Soekarno-Hatta Airport remains operational 24 hours a day,” he said.
