Soetta and Halim Perdanakusuma Airports Closed for Passengers, Only Serving Cargo

However, the airports managed by AP II will only serve cargo and special flights. Passenger flights have been officially closed, so passengers will no longer be able to travel.  Scheduled and unscheduled passenger flights will be temporarily suspended for the period April 24 to June 1, 2020.

This is in accordance with the Regulation of the Minister of Transportation Number 25 of 2020 concerning Transportation Control during the 1441 H Eid al-Fitr Homecoming Season in order to Prevent the Spread of Covid-19. VP of Corporate Communication of PT Angkasa Pura II, Yado Yarismano, said that the company has four operational pattern options that can be adjusted according to existing conditions. "PT Angkasa Pura II is coordinating with the Ministry of Transportation regarding the implementation guidelines and technical instructions related to the Minister of Transportation Regulation, which we will then adjust to the operational patterns at all airports," explained Yado in a written statement on Friday (24/4/2020). "Of course, the airport will continue to operate to serve cargo flights and a number of special flights," he said.
