JAKARTA - Ahead of the Christmas and New Year holidays, passenger movements will increase compared to usual days.
There are five busiest flight routes or destinations in Indonesia from Soekarno Hatta Airport.
Head of the AirNav Indonesia Aviation Traffic Service Control Sub Division, Syahrial, said that Christmas and New Year are a place for people to travel on vacation, so it's not just a Christmas celebration.
AirNav predicts the movement or traffic of aircraft as much as 24 percent during the Christmas and New Year holidays.
The transportation period for the Christmas and New Year holidays will take place from 19 December 2023 to 3 January 2024.
Based on Syahrial's data, there are five busiest flight destinations in Indonesia from Soekarno Hatta Airport. First, continued Syahrial, to Denpasar-Bali.
Then, continued Syahrial, Medan-North Sumatra (North Sumatra). Then, there are Makassar-South Sulawesi (Sulsel). Furthermore, Surabaya-East Java (East Java), and Yogyakarta.
"That's why the data is 16 percent to Denpasar and to Medan. This field is also a hub in Sumatra, the majority celebrating Christmas. Ujung Pandang (Makassar) is also big, but not a direct destination, maybe transit," said Syahrial at the Jakarta Air Traffic Services Center (JATSC) branch office, at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Tangerang, Banten, Friday, December 15.
During the Christmas and New Year holidays, Syahrial said AirNav received 1,990 additional requests for flights or extra flights based on letters that came in as of yesterday, Thursday, December 14 at 17.00 WIB.
