She stated at the Eid Transport Command Center closing ceremony in Jakarta on Friday that from April 3 to 18, the number of passengers on domestic and international flights was 4,079,613.

"We also recorded 31,406 aircraft movements, an 87-percent recovery compared with 2019, and an increase of 3 percent from 2023," she said.
The growth of passenger, aircraft, and cargo flight movements during this year's Eid homecoming season is a positive sign for Indonesia's air transport development, she noted.

She expressed her gratitude for the collaboration and coordination between all parties, which led to the success of the air travel organization during Eid al-Fitr.
"As the improvement occurred in all aspects, I wish to express my gratitude and utmost appreciation to all officers in the head office and regions, flight inspectors, aviation stakeholders, and all other parties that contributed to this success," Murni stated.
