Halim Pedanakusum Airport returned to normal scheduling from early
Tuesday (05/04) following an incident which saw a Batik Air Boeing
737-800 and TransNusa Air ATR 42-600 collide on the runway.
Agus Haryadi, head of corporate secretary and legal at airport
operator Angkasa Pura II, said in a statement on Tuesday that the runway
had been cleared by the emergency unit.
The National Committee for Transportation Safety is continuing investigations, with the cause not immediately clear.
Flights to and from the airport have reopened and operating according to regular schedules.
Tulus Abadi, chairman of the Indonesian Consumer Protection
Foundation, said the incident must be investigated thoroughly
particularly as it shows a lack of coordination between ground crew and
personnel.
He added the Ministry of Transportation should impose sanctions
on officials involved in the incident, as well as airport management
