from 4 p.m. on April 23 until 9 p.m. the following day.
Yayan said
he had informed the Ministry of Transportation and airlines flying to Husein
Sastranegara Airport.
“We have
asked the airlines not to sell any tickets during that period, if there’s any
passenger who has bought the ticket beforehand it will be altered,” he told
Detik.com.
The
Asian-African Conference will be held from April 19 to 24 in Jakarta and
