PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia (InJourney Airports) at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Banten, has adjusted the departure schedules for 39 flights on Middle East routes. The flights were previously postponed following the outbreak of conflict in the region stemming from the war between Iran and Israel.

To date, one flight had departed—Saudi Airlines SV827 to Jeddah—whilst three flights had landed: Lion Air JT115 from Jeddah, Saudia Airlines SV816 from Jeddah, and Garuda Indonesia GA969 from Madinah.

“Overall, operations at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport remain safe, orderly and conducive,” he stated.

The schedule adjustments reflect the operational situation developments on Middle East routes. Affected passenger handling is being carried out in accordance with applicable regulations through intensive coordination with relevant agencies. Airlines will update schedules and handle prospective passengers at the airport, whilst AirNav Indonesia monitors the affected airspace conditions, and security forces work to anticipate and maintain airport security.

“We urge prospective passengers to continuously monitor the latest information through their respective airline’s official channels and confirm their flight status before heading to the airport,” he said.
