The number of return passengers for the 2026 Eid al-Fitr holidays\narriving at Mengwi Type A Terminal in Badung Regency, Bali, has\nexperienced an upward trend. Amid this return flow, Mengwi Terminal is\nstill crowded with travellers who have just departed for Java Island\nafter Eid al-Fitr.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe return flow has started from 24 March to 26 March. So, with that\nrange, there is likely to be a follow-up return flow precisely on the\n27th today, then 28th and 29th March 2026,\u201d said the Head of the Mengwi\nType A Terminal Service Unit, I Dewa Gede Tantara Tesa Putra, on Friday\n(27\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n
The increase in passengers at Mengwi Terminal has been recorded\nconsistently at 4-6% each day since 24 March 2026. The number of\npassengers continues to climb from 2,767 people to surpassing 3,152\npassengers in the latest data.<\/p>\n
Dewa acknowledged that Mengwi Terminal is still serving significant\ndeparture flows or follow-up travels amid the return period. The\ndifference between incoming and outgoing passengers to outside Bali\nthrough Mengwi Terminal is only about 400 people.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe departure flow is still busy; we suspect there might be\nfollow-up travel flows. Indeed, the difference between departures and\narrivals is 400 passengers, so it\u2019s very slim,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Dewa stated that all service scenarios at Mengwi Terminal have been\nprepared, so no issues with fleets or queues have been encountered. The\nmonitoring post from the Ministry of Transportation is still operating\nuntil the end of this month.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo far, we have not encountered any issues because we have prepared\nthe scenarios. For the monitoring post from the Ministry of\nTransportation, the last one will be on 30 March 2026,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
According to Dewa, the majority of passengers who have just arrived\nat Mengwi Terminal come from East Java and Central Java regions. These\narrivals mostly settle in Badung, Tabanan, up to Denpasar City\nareas.<\/p>\n
This post-Eid travel phenomenon is acknowledged by several passengers\nat Mengwi Terminal. One of them is M Nohir, a resident who has just set\noff for Madura to avoid long queues at Gilimanuk Port as occurred some\ntime ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just went home to the village because the other day I heard there\nwas congestion at Gilimanuk; originally planned before Eid al-Fitr but\nbecause of the congestion, it was postponed. Yes, indeed, I deliberately\nwent home after Eid al-Fitr to have a relaxed journey; the important\nthing is to meet the family,\u201d said M Nohir.<\/p>\n
Yono, a traveller from Jember, shares the same view. This man, who is\nbringing his child and wife, also chose to make the trip today. \u201cThe\nother day I heard news that Gilimanuk was crowded before Eid al-Fitr. I\npostponed it, so I\u2019m departing with my wife and two children today,\u201d\nsaid Yono.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/return-traffic-at-mengwi-terminal-increases-follow-up-travellers-still-heading-to-java-1774615887", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
