LCC flights will move to Terminal 1 of Soetta Airport (Between)

JAKARTA - Terminal 1 of Soekarno-Hatta Airport is planned to become a special terminal for low-cost carrier airlines (LCC). Currently, the terminal is being revitalized.

Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir revealed that his party did encourage low-cost carrier (LCC) flights to be provided by their own terminals.

"Including how the low-cost airports will be different terminals," said SOE Minister Erick Thohir at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Tangerang, Banten, Wednesday, January 1.

Meanwhile, the President Director of PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia (API), Faik Fahmi, said that all LCC airlines that are still operating at Terminal 2 will be moved to Terminal 1.

Furthermore, Faik said that later the full-service airline would be moved to Terminal 3. Thus, Batik Air, which since August 2, 2022, has been operating at Terminal 2, will be moved to Terminal 3.

"So the full service will be at Terminal 3. Then the 2F one is specifically for the Umrah terminal, and later the low-cost will be at Terminal 1," said Faik.

Meanwhile, based on the official website of Soetta Airport, LCC airlines operating at Terminal 2, including Air Asia Indonesia, Air Asia, and Lion Air.

Currently, said Faik, Terminal 1 of Soetta Airport is being revitalized and the progress has only reached 30 percent. Although specifically serving the LCC airline, Terminal 1 will be transformed into more beautiful (beautification).

"It's 30 percent, I'm targeting it to be completed in August," he explained.
