Together with related stakeholders, such as AirNav, airlines, and ground handling staff, AP II will ensure the smooth operation of air travel amid an increase in flight traffic, Krisnowibowo assured.
He said that flight time slots at all AP II airports are also guaranteed to be available to accommodate the increased demand during the long holiday.
