Dear friends,

the Indonesian government has just announced to close its borders for international passenger arrivals / flights from 1^st-14^th January.

There will be some exemptions for holders of diplomatic residence permits, official residence permits, limited stay permits (KITAS) and permanent residency permits (KITAP).

We expect that most airlines will not operate their passenger flights to Jakarta during these time.

Current airlines with freighter flights into Jakarta, CGK Airport we know of as follows.

-CV, Cargolux (LUX-CGK 2 times weekly)
-CX, Cathay Pacific (via HKG)
-KR, Korean Air (via ICN)
-CI, China Airlines (via TPE)
-MH, Malaysia Airlines (via KUL/SZB)

Your airfreight departments might check with these airlines for available flights and space during these period.

Refer to below articles :

Minister of Foreign Affairs Retno Marsudi said that all international flights scheduled to arrive in Indonesia on 1-14^th January 2021 will be on hold.

Indonesia is closing its borders to foreign travelers from all around the world for the first two weeks of 2021, Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi announced on Monday, amid concerns over the discovery of a more infectious SARS-CoV-2 variant first detected in the United Kingdom.
