He mentioned that airport activities ahead of the Christmas and New Year 2023 celebrations did not experience a significant spike, because the majority of people in Bengkulu Province are Muslim. "However, his party will continue to prepare for guarding and anticipation by setting up security posts for Christmas and New Year on December 17, 2022 to January 4, 2023. His party anticipates a surge in passengers because there are two national agendas being carried out in Bengkulu Province, namely the State Defense Secretariat (KBN) and Mother's Day Celebration which are scheduled to be attended by the First Lady of the Republic of Indonesia, Iriana Joko Widodo. "To face the two large agendas, his party has officially asked the airline to carry out direct monitoring, if there is a surge in airline passengers, it will be ready," he said.
