Tangerang (ANTARA) – State-owned airport operator, PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia (InJourney Airports) in Tangerang, Banten, diverted several flights on Monday due to extreme weather, particularly during the landing phase at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.Assistant Deputy for Communication and Legal Affairs at PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia for Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Yudistiawan, informed the diversions were due to heavy rain and potential wind shear, or changes in wind direction that could disrupt flight operations.”These conditions impacted flight movements, particularly during the landing phase at Soekarno-Hatta Airport,” he remarked.Based on data from the Airport Operation Control Center (AOCC), 12 flights were diverted to other airports, 14 flights went through holding procedures, 13 flights made go arounds, and one flight returned to the apron (RTA).”Flight safety and security remain the top priority in every operational decision,” Yudistiawan emphasized.He conveyed that Soekarno-Hatta Airport authorities are currently coordinating intensively with AirNav Indonesia, airlines, and all relevant stakeholders to ensure flight operations continue safely, orderly, and under control amidst the unfavorable weather conditions.In addition, the impact of the extreme weather has also damaged several facilities, particularly the roof of the Boarding Lounge Gate 7 area of Terminal 3 Soekarno-Hatta Airport.Yudistiawan noted that the disruption at one section of the roof lasted approximately five minutes and was quickly handled. He said airport personnel responded promptly, taking immediate steps to clean and secure the affected area to prevent any impact on flight services.He then confirmed that all airside facilities, such as runways, taxiways, and aprons, are in good condition and remain fully operational, with no flooding affecting aircraft movements.”The area is clean and the situation has returned to normal, with airport operations continuing smoothly,” he added.He further noted that all facilities are under continuous monitoring, and any potential disruptions will prompt the clearing of surrounding areas to minimize impact.
