The flow of passengers at Juanda Airport is still high, above 40 thousand/day – Rifyu.com

Passenger traffic at Surabaya Juanda International Airport in Sidoarjo, East Java, is still quite high even though it has passed the peak of return flow on Tuesday (25/4).

General Manager of Juanda International Airport, Sisyani Jaffar, said Friday, two days after the return peak, the number of passengers served was over 40 thousand passengers per day.


His party predicts this is because there is still time for school children’s holidays and not all people have returned to work actively.


“Maybe some of them just returned to work on May 2, moreover on May 1 there is also a national holiday,” he said.


He said the peak of the return flow occurred on Tuesday with 47,358 airplane passengers at Juanda Airport, then Wednesday (26/4) the number was less, namely 45,621 people.
