JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – The number of passenger flights during the previous emergency Covid-19 measures from July 3-25 dropped significantly at 15 Indonesian airports managed by the airport operator PT Angkasa Pura (AP) I.

"The number of passenger flights saw a dramatic 76 percent drop,” said its president director Faik Fahmi in a statement on Monday, July 26.

He said the decline showed that the implementation of Covid-19 measures suppressed people’s mobility in the air transportation sector.

Even though air traffic has decreased drastically, Faik reaffirmed the commitment of the company to continue providing the best service for airport users and strictly follow the health protocols at every airport.
