JAKARTA - The Airport Health Center at Soekarno-Hatta Airport officially opened a pre-order service for the COVID-19 test, be it PCR test, antigen rapid test, and antibody rapid test on Monday, December 21, 2020.

"Through this pre-order service, prospective aircraft passengers can choose a good time to do the COVID-19 test, by taking into account the departure schedule, of course," said PT Angkasa Pura II President Director Muhammad Awaluddin as quoted by Antara, Monday, December 21.

The pre-order service, he continued, can be accessed via travelation.angkasapura2.co.id. After the service opened for 1 hour today, it was recorded that 106 pax had registered pre-orders.

He explained, how to pre-order the COVID-19 service test through three steps, namely registering in the travel application, selecting the Airport Health Center feature, and following the next steps. Through pre-order service, according to Awaluddin, prospective aircraft passengers can carefully calculate the time needed to carry out the COVID-19 test at Soekarno-Hatta Airport.

The test facilities for prospective aircraft passengers who have pre-ordered are located in the Umrah lounge area of Terminal 3, or different from the walk-in service location at SMMILE Center Terminal 3 Soekarno Hatta International Airport.

"The different test locations between the pre-order service and the walk in service aim to break the buildup of prospective passengers leaving so that the location of the COVID-19 test service is not only carried out in one point," Awaluddin said.

The COVID-19 test facility at the Soekarno-Hatta Airport Health Center in collaboration with Indofarma and Kimia Farma is an effort to support airplane passengers meeting health protocols.

The demand for Airport Health Center services is quite high at Soekarno-Hatta Airport in the last few days, including this morning at Airport Health Center Terminal 2 which was busy around 06.00 to 09.00 WIB.

And starting at 09.00 WIB the queue was in normal condition. Meanwhile, for Airport Health Center Terminal 3 since this morning the conditions have remained normal.
