"The increase in passengers is expected to increase as the peak of the homecoming flow approaches, around March 15 to 16, 2026," he explained.

To support the smooth flow of homecoming travelers, Irawansyah added, the terminal has also activated a Lebaran transportation service post involving various related elements, including health workers.
