Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi found that there was a service at Soekarno Hatta Airport, Tangerang, Banten, which needed to be maximized. One of them is ground handling services.

This was conveyed by Budi Karya after conducting an inspection at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Friday, December 23.

Budi said, ground handling is very important to pay attention to. The reason is, delays and delays in taking goods are there.

Some of the points that I inspected today are ground handling. I ask Angkasa Pura II and stakeholders to increase the number of equipment and workers there, because of delays and delays in taking goods, especially from there," he said.

Budi also asked Angkasa Pura II as the manager of Soekarno-Hatta Airport to maximize the slot or queue of aircraft. Especially during golden time.

One thing that has not been maximized is the strengthening slot. So here there is a golden time, morning and evening. As a result, the plane queued up when it was taken off landing and it resulted in delays," he explained.

Therefore, said Budi, the Ministry of Transportation together with related parties will impose restrictions, in which there is a maximum implementation of certain hours.

"We will limit it, even though there is a maximum goal time per hour, so that they spread it into the afternoon or they don't stay in Jakarta, stay in Medan, until here (Jakarta) morning. So that the maximum maximum aircraft can be maximized but not concentrated on certain hours," he said.

Budi emphasized that there should be less than 7 queues. The reason is, Soekarno Hatta Airport already has three runways.

"We have three runaways, so we shouldn't be allowed to queue for more than two or three. Now there are still seven. That's why I need a collaboration with the water line for that management anymore," he said.
