JAKARTA - PT Angkasa Pura II (Persero) predicts that the peak of the 2024 Eid homecoming flow through Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Soetta) Tangerang, Banten, will occur on April 5-6, 2024.

Soekarno-Hatta Airport KCU Executive General Manager, Dwi Ananda Wicaksana, said that the transportation period for Eid al-Fitr 1445 Hijriah will last for 10-11 days.

"We have just held a meeting with the Director General of Civil Aviation and it has been stated that the Eid 2024 transportation period at Soekarno-Hatta Airport will start from 3 to 13 April 2024 and the peak of the homecoming flow on Friday, April 5 to 6, 2024," he said in Tangerang, Sunday, March 24, confiscated by Antara.

The number of passenger movements during that period is projected to reach up to 188 thousand people in one day.

Meanwhile, the number of passenger movements at the peak of backflow that occurred on D+4 of Eid al-Fitr will continue to increase to 190 thousand people.

"Meanwhile, for the return flow, we estimate that it will occur in D+4 Lebaran 2024, which is approximately 190,000 passengers with 1,117 flights," he said.

In total, during the Eid homecoming transportation period, it is predicted that it will reach the number of two million passengers moving at Soetta Airport.

"In total, the increase in Soekarno-Hatta during the Ramadan period will occur 2.1 million passengers and that will increase compared to last year's tofu," he said.
