SOUTH KALIMANTAN - Air Force Base (Lanud) Syamsudin Noor Banjarmasin in South Kalimantan (Kalsel) warned of the danger of using laser beams to aircraft that had occurred some time ago.

"We have given an appeal to people in areas where it was suspected that they had directed laser beams to planes," said Air Base Commander Syamsudin Noor Colonel Pnb Vincentius Endy in Banjarbaru, Monday, July 24, as reported by Antara.

Laser beam disruption to aircraft wishing to land or land at Syamsudin Noor International Airport received serious attention from the Air Base.

Vincentius confirmed that currently there is no longer any interference with laser rays against planes that want to land after education to the public.

He admitted that the use of laser beams that were highlighted directly at the plane was allegedly due to public ignorance of the dangers posed.

So that the public needs to be educated that this action is prohibited because it endangers flight safety.

It is known that several times there had been a laser beam disruption to the plane that was about to land at Syamsudin Noor International Airport in Banjarbaru City.

After receiving the report, Syamsudin Noor Air Base immediately coordinated with Avsec and related elements of the TNI-Polri to overcome it so that it would not continue.
