HOLIDAY AIRPLANE SEATING CAPACITY EXCEEDS EXPECTED NEED
Jakarta, Sept 12 (ANTARA) - The airplane seating capacity for the Idul Fitri holdiay season has been set at 30 percent in excess of the predicted number of post-fasting month home-bound travelers, an senior air transportation official said.
Speaking to legislators of the House of Representatives (DPR)'s Commission V for transportation affairs, Director General for Air Transportation Tri Sunoko said here on Saturday about 2.2 million airplane seats had been prepared.
He said the seating capacity was 30 percent more than the number of Idul Fitri travelers expected to use air transportation services, namely 1.6 million.
The figure represented an increase of 15 percent compared with the number of Idul Fitri travelers using air transportation last year which totaled 1.4 million.
"So, there will be no problem with airplane seating capacity for Idul Fitri passengers," he said.***
