Indonesia's Lion Air Group moves int'l ops to Jakarta's T2

Lion Air Group's international flights are moving to Terminal 2F on December 16 at Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta. The switch from Terminal 3 is part of a capacity balancing programme and will see all of the group's aircraft movements in the Indonesian capital operate through the Terminal 2 complex. The group's airlines include Lion Air, Batik Air, Batik Air Malaysia (formerly known as Malindo Air), and Thai Lion Air. According to Soekarno-Hatta Airport executive general manager Dwi Ananda Wicaksana, there are around 32 Lion Air Group international arrivals and departures at the airport every day, handling over 6,100 passengers. Following the switch, daily aircraft movements at Terminal 3 will decrease by 19% and daily passenger foot traffic will drop by 9.8%. Terminal 3 handles Garuda Indonesia Group airlines, Indonesia AirAsia, and all other foreign carriers, while Terminal 2 will become the exclusive domain of Lion Air Group airlines. Terminal 1 will continue to look after domestic Indonesia AirAsia, NAM Air, Sriwijaya Air, and Super Air Jet services.<br/>
