August 2, 2022 – The Government has added six airports for overseas arrivals to Indonesia through Airway.

These six entrance opening for overseas travellers are Sultan Iskandar Muda Airport, Minangkabau Airport, Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Airport, Adi Sumarmo Airport, Syamsudin Noor Airport, and Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan Airport.

With the additional six airports, there are 17 airports in total operating for overseas arrivals.

Other 11 airports are Soekarno Hatta Airport in Tangerang, Juanda Airport in Sidoarjo, Ngurah Rai Airport in Bali, and Hang Nadim Airport in Batam. Other than that, there’s Raja Haji Fisabilillah Airport at Tanjung Pinang, Sam Ratulangi Airport in Manado, Zainuddin Abdul Madjid in Lombok, Kualanamu Airport at North Sumatra province.

Sultan Hasanuddin Airport in South Sulawesi, Yogyakarta International Airport in the Special Region of Yogyakarta province and lastly, Sultan Syarif Kasim II Airport in Pekanbaru.

Deputy Chairman III of the National Covid-19 Handling Task Force Syafrizal urged the regional heads to continue to carry out vaccination programs, particularly for the third dose or booster vaccine. This is an integral part of the effort to keep the pandemic under control.

Not only that, but Syafrizal also asked for the regional government and security to sternly supervise the implementation of health protocols, such as the use of masks and using the PeduliLindungi application to enter public areas.

“This is done so that the public remains vigilant and disciplined to the health protocols, considering that there will be a lot of activities celebrating Indonesia’s Independence Day or the 17s which has not been held for the past two years,” Said Syafrizal.

The Central Bureau of Statistics (BPK) has observed an increase of 929,66 percent of foreign tourists visiting Indonesia from January to June 2022. BPK has recorded 743,21 thousand visits with the majority of the tourists originating from Australia with Singapore coming in second place and Malaysia in third.
