"There have been more than 100 prospective passengers whose departure has been refused. Since the first check point, there was a rigorous inspection and indeed there were prospective passengers who still did not carry complete travel documents. The certificates were invalid, starting from the assignment letter and others. There were also prospective passengers who brought a certificate of rapid test or PCR that has expired, "he explained.

In addition, there were hundreds of people who were refused departure because they came directly to Soekarno-Hatta airport without having a flight ticket and did not carry any of the required documents.

As we know, during flight restrictions, prospective passengers who are permitted to travel are those who include into the exception criteria and fulfill documents in accordance with SE No. 04/2020 released by the Task Force for Acceleration of Covid-19 Handling.
