Meanwhile, Angkasa Pura I has officially closed the operation of the 2023/1444 H Eid Air Transport Integrated Command Post (Posko Lebaran 2023) at 15 airports managed.

President Director of PT Angkasa Pura I Faik Fahmi said the number of passengers served increased by 36 percent compared to the Eid period in the previous year of 2,931,168 movements.

Faik said the increase in passenger movements during the Lebaran 2023 Command Post was also accompanied by the high movement of aircraft at the Angkasa Pura I managed airport which reached 31,108 aircraft movements or grew by 33 percent compared to the record at the 2022 Eid Post of 23,395 movements.

The realization of traffic at the Lebaran 2023 Command Post also reached the initial projected target, namely 3,958,061 passenger movements and 31,876 aircraft movements.

"During the operation of the Lebaran 2023 Command Post, we noted that there was significant traffic growth compared to traffic at the Lebaran Post last year. Of course this is an encouraging note," he said, in Jakarta, Thursday, May 4.

In general, continued Faik, the implementation of the Lebaran 2023 Command Post went smoothly, and succeeded in carrying out its duties in overseeing the smooth flow of air transportation during the period of homecoming flow and the backflow of Eid al-Fitr.

"Thank God, during the operation of the 2023 Eid Command Post, 15 Angkasa Pura I airports succeeded in realizing zero accidents or zero accidents," he said.

The achievement of this zero accident, continued Faik, is the main goal of organizing the Lebaran Command Post, and is the result of hard work and coordination between airport community members.

"On behalf of the management, we express our gratitude and appreciation to all personnel across airport community member agencies for their dedication in overseeing the smooth, security and safety of air transportation during the 2023 Eid Transport period," he said.

Ngurah Rai Becomes The Airport With The Highest Traffic

Faik said, during the operation of the Lebaran 2023 Command Post, Bali's I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport became the highest traffic airport, with 1,151,516 passenger movements and 7,550 aircraft movements.

"In second place is Juanda Airport Surabaya with 788,032 passenger movements and 5,536 aircraft movements, and in third place is Sultan Hasanuddin Airport Makassar with 584,681 passenger movements and 4,511 aircraft movements," he explained.

The peak of the Lebaran 2023 homecoming flow occurred on Wednesday, April 19 (D-3 Lebaran) with 238,111 passenger movements and 1,914 aircraft movements served. The realization of the peak traffic of this homecoming flow exceeded the initial prediction, which was 13 percent for passenger movement and 9 percent for aircraft movement.

Meanwhile, the peak of Lebaran 2023 backflow occurred on Monday, May 1 (D+8 Lebaran) with 247,851 passenger movements and 1,763 aircraft movements served.

According to Faik, the realization of the peak of backflow has shifted from the initial prediction which is projected to occur on Tuesday, April 25 (D+2 Lebaran) with traffic predictions of 220,000 passenger movements and 1,700 aircraft movements.

"Realization of traffic peaks of backflow also exceeds the initial prediction, which is 13 percent for passenger movement and 4 percent for aircraft movement," he explained.

Meanwhile, for the realization of extra flights, said Faik, 15 Angkasa Pura I airports recorded that they had served 1,906 flights or realized 55 percent of the 3,490 extra flight plans.

"The airport with the most extra flight realizations is Bali's I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport with 468 flights, Juanda Airport Surabaya with 378 flights, and Syamsudin Noor Airport Banjarmasin with 256 flights," he explained.

Faik said that achieving the traffic target figure during the Eid Transport period this year is certainly a positive indicator of the national economic recovery rate in general, as well as the special aviation industry which is getting better after the COVID-19 pandemic.
