JAKARTA - PT Angkasa Pura I or AP I will operate three airports under the management of 24 hours non-stop or non-stop during the 2023 Christmas and 2024 New Year holidays or Nataru.

AP I President Director Faik Fahmi said all airports managed by AP I will prepare or stand by to adjust operating hours during the 2024 Nataru holiday. However, what is certain is that it will operate 24 hours, only three of the 15 airports under the management of AP I.

The three airports in question are I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, Denpasar, Bali; Sam Ratulangi International Airport, Manado, North Sulawesi; and Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport, Makassar.

"In particular, at all airports that we operate in AP I, we prepare a stand by 24 hours. However, we are specifically the ones who have completed the 24-hour operation (airport) Denpasar, Manado, and Ujung Pandang," he said in a hearing with Commission VI DRP, at the DPR Building, written Tuesday, December 5.

Furthermore, Faik said that the 2024 Nataru transportation traffic is predicted to increase considerably compared to the 2023 Nataru and 2023 Eid al-Fitr periods.

From the recovery rate in general has not recovered from before the pandemic, but already 86 percent. We are optimistic that this year will be much higher. Our focus this year is related to b safety security, compliance," he explained.

Faik also said as many as 444 aircraft units at 15 airports managed by AP I are ready to serve the 2024 Nataru flight. He said this number increased from last year's only 412 aircraft units.

"So this has increased much more. Hopefully, the issues related to ticket prices that are high with limited fleets can be anticipated even better in the future," he said.

Furthermore, Faik said to ensure good operational readiness during the implementation of the Nataru holiday transportation, AP I involved 4,680 personnel including the TNI-Polri Operations Control Assistance (BKO).

Faik said AP I also prepared the 2024 Nataru post which will start on 18 December 2023 to 4 January 2024.

"We also have an integrated post that is coordinated with relevant stakeholders. Nationally, we are also coordinating with the Ministry of Transportation's integrated posts," he said.
