Indonesia’s Transportation Ministry is closely monitoring the effects of ongoing forest and land fires in Papua on flight operations. Sixteen airports across Papua are being assessed for reduced visibility due to haze. Authorities are evaluating the risk to air travel and coordinating with relevant stakeholders to ensure passenger safety. The Ministry is prepared to implement necessary measures, potentially including flight reroutings or temporary closures, should conditions worsen. This monitoring is crucial as the dry season continues and the potential for fires remains high in the Papua region. The government emphasizes proactive steps to mitigate disruptions and maintain connectivity throughout Papua. Regular updates are being provided to airlines and airport operators.
