All discounts are valid on August 17, 2019 at all airports managed by Angkasa Pura II, for flights on domestic routes.

Operation Incentive covers discounts on aircraft services at airports such as landing services and aircraft placement services.

The inaugural landing of commercial aircraft on runway 3 on Thursday, August 14, 2019, was a historic moment after decades of Soekarno-Hatta operations with 2 runways.

The existence of runway 3 also makes Soekarno-Hatta able to serve more flights, which is up to 114 flights per hour.

The Minister of Transportation, Budi Karya Sumadi, previously stated that the Soekarno-Hatta runway 3 was a gift of the 74th Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia.
