Traffic To Soekarno-Hatta Airport Is Totally Jammed, Crowds Of Rizieq Shihab's Pick-up Fill The Road

JAKARTA - Traffic to Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Tangerang, Banten, is totally stuck. The congestion occurred because the roads were filled with crowds to pick up Rizieq Shihab who had returned to Indonesia.

"From the direction of Jakarta to Soekarno-Hatta Airport it can flow but slowly (at speed)," said Wakasat Then Soekarno-Hatta Airport AKP Tugiyo told VOI, Tuesday, November 10.

According to him, the crowd to pick up Rizieq Shihab filled the road. The masses chose to walk from the toll road or welcome gate at Soekarno-Hatta Airport.

"Habib Rizieq's pick-up was on foot from the toll road. But vehicles are already moving slowly," he said.

Meanwhile, the opposite direction is totally jammed. Vehicles from the direction of Soetta Airport to Jakarta cannot pass.

This is because many private and rented vehicles from the pick-up mass are parked on the side of the road. Thus, other vehicles cannot pass.

"The vehicle to pick up the Rizieq habib is parked on the toll road in front of the Amaris Hotel and the Orchardz hotel towards Jakarta so that access to the airport is blocked and does not move," he said.

To overcome the congestion, his party is looking for drivers. They were asked to move the vehicle.

"Efforts are still being made to temporarily find the driver to announce or pick up from the Rizieq habib around the airport to find the driver to move it so that there is access to Jakarta," he said.

Rizieq Shihab and his family plan to return to Indonesia using a plane with flight number SV-816 and arrive on Tuesday, November 10, 2020 at Terminal 3 of Soekarno-Hatta Airport at 09.00 WIB.
