Jakarta - PT Angkasa Pura I is optimistic that flight passenger traffic will increase following the decrease in the cost of PCR swabs.

"We very much welcome the Government's policy regarding reducing the cost of RT-PCR," said AP I President Director Faik Fahmi in his statement, Friday (20/8).

According to Faik, besides being able to help increase the number of COVID-19 tests so that transmission can be more regulated, a more controlled pandemic will improve people's confidence to travel by air, so that flight traffic can slowly increase.
