Mishap at Jakarta’s Halim Airport Causes Diversion of Flights to Soekarno-Hatta Airport

Authorities at Jakarta’s Halim Perdanakusuma Airport has diverted a number of commercial flights to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, after a Trigana Air Boeing 737-500 cargo jet blocked parts of the runway after it slid on the tarmac on Saturday. No casualties were reported in the incident.

“[The Angkasa Pura II air transportation company] has diverted seven low-cost carrier flights to Soekarno-Hatta Airport,” said Angkasa Pura II Vice President of Corporate Communications Yado Yarismano in a written statement.

“Five of them are from Batik Air, while the other two are Citilink flights.”The public relations manager for the AirNav [Air Navigation] Indonesia, Yohannes Harry Douglas Sirait, reiterated Yado.

“The incident with the Trigana Air Boeing 737-500 jet with the registration number PK-YSF occurred, as it took off from Halim Perdanakusuma Airport to head to Sultan Hasanuddin Airport in Makassar, South Sulawesi.”

Sirait added that the fligh had to turn back to Halim Perdanakusuma because of technical problems.

“The [Trigana Air] flight slid towards the right of the runway and blocked it after returning to base. The accident rendered the facility unusable.”

The Trigana Air near disaster is the second aerial mishap involving the Boeing 737-500 jet in the first quarter of 2021, after Sriwijaya Air Flight SJ182 crashed minutes after takeoff at Soekarno Hatta Airport on January 9. 62 passengers and crew died in the disaster.

Indonesian Embassy in Japan to Account For Indonesian Nationals After Earthquake

The Indonesian Embassy in Japan is continuing its efforts to account for Indonesian nationals in the country, after a 7.2 Richter scale earthquake struck the Japanese Prefecture of Miyagi, triggering a one-meter tsunami warning.

No casualties or damages were reported in the disaster, which occurred at a depth of 60 kilometers off Miyagi on Saturday, March 20.
“The Indonesian Embassy in Japan has contacted organizations for Indonesian nationals [in Miyagi prefecture] to see how they are doing,” said Indonesian Ambassador to Japan Heri Akhmadi in a press release.

He added that he has yet to receive any reports of Indonesian casualties or material damages incurred during the earthquake.

Heri “urged Indonesian citizens affected by the disaster to call the hotline provided by the Indonesian Embassy in Tokyo. We also call on them to remain calm and comply with the local authorities.”

984 Indonesian are known to live in the Miyagi Prefecture in northern Japan. The Japan Meteorology Agency issued the tsunami warning after the tremors shook Miyagi, but withdrew the warning afterwards.

The disaster occurred 10 years after a 9 Richter scale earthquake struck Japan on March 11 2011, triggering a tsunami that killed more than 18 thousand people and causing a meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant as other damage.
