JAKARTA - A video recording circulated on the Instagram social media which stated that an airplane had slipped to cover the Perimeter Road in the area of the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Soetta), Saturday, December 20, 2025.
The police, after being confirmed, said that the information was inaccurate. Police Chief of Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Kombes Ronald Sipayung, stated that the incident was actually a technical problem on a truck trailer vehicle carrying the body or frame (airframe) of an aircraft that would be repositioned or taken to Aceh.
"It's not a plane that slipped. What happened was that the vehicle transporting the aircraft's airframe had a problem," said Kombes Ronald Sipayung, when confirmed, Monday, December 22, 2025.
Ronald explained that the trailer truck experienced problems while passing on the road because the trailer chassis was stuck on the asphalt surface. This is due to the trailer chassis position which is too low.
"The trailer chassis got stuck on the asphalt surface of the road because the trailer position was too low," he said.
As a result of the incident, traffic flow around the location was disrupted.
Separately, the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport Authority through its official Instagram account also provided clarification regarding the video circulating on social media. The airport confirmed that the information regarding the plane skidding was not true.
In its clarification, the airport authority said that the object seen in the video was not the aircraft that had an incident, but rather a part or frame (airframe) of a Boeing 737-500 aircraft with the ex-PK-GGD registration of the Citilink Indonesia airline.
The aircraft's airframe is in the process of being moved after being dismantled (dismantled) and repositioned on Saturday night, December 20, 2025. The transfer was carried out for the purpose of repositioning to Aceh in order to support government programs related to the development of hajj and umrah activities.
The airport authority ensures that all transfer processes have received approval from the relevant authorities and are carried out in accordance with applicable safety procedures.
During the mobilization process, there was a technical problem with one of the transport vehicles. However, the problem was successfully handled and the situation returned to normal.
"There was no incident of flight safety in the incident," said an official statement from the Soekarno-Hatta Airport Authority.
