Even so, Edo admitted that he had not received any information regarding the closure of flights due to the tightening of the PSBB which was to be carried out by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.

“Until now, we have not (received information), but we analyzed it from the initial PSBB. So what we see is that the policies between regions will influence each other or not, that’s a factor of people going to travel or abandoning their intention, “said Edo.

Edo also hopes that the tightening of the PSBB in Jakarta will not affect flights to other areas.

“So with DKI deciding on PSBB whether there is (impact) to other areas, so hopefully not there. It’s just possible that health protocols are tightened. But we are still waiting for more details, “he said.

The implementation of the PSBB, such as the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, will start on September 14, 2020 ?, replacing the transitional PSBB that has been implemented by DKI since last June 5.

The decision to re-implement the PSBB had to be taken due to several considerations. Starting from the death rate due to Covid-19, to the availability of beds in isolation rooms and ICU rooms that are running low in Jakarta.

So, starting next Monday, a number of community activities will be limited by the obligation to implement a work from home system.

In addition, other policies that were also enforced were strict restrictions on public transportation to limit the movement of citizens, and temporarily abolishing the odd-even rule for vehicles.
