TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The number of air passengers in 15 airports under the management of Angkasa Pura I or AP I soared by 47.2 percent to 2.9 million people in October, compared to the previous month, following the relaxation of the public mobility restrictions or PPKM.
“After the end of the Emergency PPKM in July 2021, the air traffic continues to grow. The easing of air travel requirements since September and October has led to the increasing flight traffic,” said AP I President Director Faik Fahmi in his statement, Tuesday, November 9.
The surge in passenger numbers was followed by an increase in air traffic by 31.4 percent from 23,379 to 30,730 flights in October 2021.
The highest figure was recorded at Makassar’s Sultan Hasanuddin Airport with 664,514 passengers, followed by Juanda Airport in Surabaya with 570,487 passengers and I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport in Bali with 464,840 passengers.
