Four Lebaran Travel Service Posts Activated at Soekarno-Hatta Airport

Tangerang — PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia (InJourney Airports) at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Banten, has reactivated the Lebaran Travel Service Posts for 2026 to support smooth airport operations.

“The Lebaran Travel Service Posts will operate for 18 days, from 13 March to 30 March 2026, as part of our operational preparations,” said General Manager of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Heru Karyadi, in Tangerang on Friday.

To manage potential surges in passenger movements during the exodus and return migration periods, Soekarno-Hatta Airport has established four service post locations: the Main Post at Terminal 1B and service posts at Terminal 1C, Terminal 2E, and Terminal 3 Gate 3 Departures. These posts serve as inter-agency coordination centres to ensure service quality, security, and operational efficiency during the Lebaran transport period.

Based on projections, total passenger movements during the 2026 Lebaran period are estimated to reach 3,010,993 passengers, representing a 2.22 per cent increase compared to 2025. This increase is expected across both domestic and international routes as public mobility increases during the Lebaran holiday.

Aircraft movements during this period are projected to reach 19,891 flights, a 3.43 per cent increase compared to the same period last year.

Peak outbound traffic is expected on 18 March 2026 with 187,202 passengers and 1,193 flights, whilst peak return traffic is forecast for 28 March 2026 with 198,387 passengers and 1,221 flights in a single day.

“To support operational efficiency during the Lebaran period, Soekarno-Hatta Airport has mobilised 7,832 operational personnel assigned to various service, security, and airport operational aspects,” Heru stated.

“With projections exceeding 3 million passengers and additional flight support, we are ensuring all facilities, personnel, and inter-stakeholder coordination operate optimally so that passengers experience safe, comfortable, and smooth travel,” he added.

To enhance travel comfort, passengers are urged to verify their departure schedules and assigned terminals to avoid mix-ups. Passengers are also advised to arrive at least three hours early to account for airport congestion.

“For airport information, passengers can contact the InJourney Airports Call Centre on 172, whilst flight information can be obtained directly from respective airlines,” Heru said.
