Flight Restrictions Across Indonesia Extended to 7 June

Flight restrictions at all airports managed by PT Angkasa Pura (AP) II have been extended until 7th June 2020. Affected airports include Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Tangerang, Banten and Halim Perdakusuma Jakarta.

The extension is in accordance with the Circular Letter from the Task Force for the COVID-19 Handling Acceleration Number 05/2020, which extends the validity period of travel restrictions related to preventing the spread of coronavirus.

President Director of PT Angkasa Pura II Muhammad Awaluddin said that the decision was also followed up with a decree of the Minister of Transportation No. KM 116 in 2020 and a circular letter from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation No. 37/2020.

“Flight restrictions are still imposed at PT Angkasa Pura II airports until 7th June 2020, in the sense that domestic aircraft passengers must meet a number of requirements and complete various documents [to be able to fly],” Awaluddin said.
