JAKARTA - PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia Soekarno-Hatta Airport Branch Office (Soetta), Tangerang, Banten, ensures access to several terminals at the airport has returned to normal after being hit by floods on Tuesday, January 28, evening.

Asst Deputy Communication and Legal Soekarno-Hatta Airport M Holik Muardi, in Tangerang, Wednesday, January 29, said that currently airport operations are still running well.

"The high intensity of rain from night until early this morning resulted in puddles at several points at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. Soekarno-Hatta Airport Management will immediately carry out handling according to procedures so that access conditions to the airport are currently running normally," he said, quoted by Antara.

With the opening of a number of road access to terminals at Soetta Airport, his party appealed to prospective passengers to coordinate periodically with airlines regarding flight schedules and arrive early at the airport.

"PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia Soekarno-Hatta Airport is committed to continuing to improve good service for users of Soekarno-Hatta Airport services," he said.

Meanwhile, based on a report from the security authority of the Soetta Airport Police, it was reported that several road lever points to the Soetta Airport terminal were now gradually returning to normal.

Where, the current situation at the location where previously there was a puddle of water, such as in the P2 road tunnel, 2 D and 2F terminals, the Soewarna DHL Warehouse route in front of Mang Engking, the Cargo area in front of the RPX Warehouse, the South Perimeter tunnel, and entering Gapura Soetta Airport, vehicles can be passed smoothly.

"It's only the Pos 25 north route to Jl. France (the route cannot be passed by vehicles), due to the flooding," said Head of Public Relations of the Soetta Airport Police, IPDA Septian Wahyudi.

Previously, heavy rains flushed the Tangerang area causing flooding on the car access route to Terminal 2 of Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Tuesday (28/01) night.

Based on a video circulating on the IG account @jakartabarat24jam, the flood inundated access at Terminal 2 of the arrival of Soekarno-Hatta Airport.

Cars that want to pass are forced to stop on the road. This causes queues of vehicles to spread.
