Soekarno-Hatta Airport has declared its readiness to accommodate approximately 50 percent of flights currently operating from Halim Perdanakusuma Airport, with the relocation set to begin on August 1, 2025.
"We are very ready as the preparations are complete," stated Dwi Ananda Wicaksana, General Manager of PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport Branch Office, on Thursday, July 17, 2025.
Dwi explained that the airlines slated for relocation have been carefully selected to ensure no overlap with existing routes at Soekarno-Hatta. "There will definitely be adjustments," he confirmed.
3. Hamas: Israel Rejects Deal to Release All Prisoners in Gaza
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Brigade Al Qassam, the armed wing of Hamas, on Friday stated that Hamas had proposed a comprehensive deal to release all Israeli prisoners held in Gaza. The deal, as reported by Al Jazeera, was in exchange for halting the conflict and a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from the coastal enclave.
In a 20-minute televised address, Abu Obeida, the spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigade, said the movement had proposed the offer several times over the past few months. "However, the Israeli government rejected the proposal," he said.
"It has become clear to us that the government of the criminal Netanyahu has no real interest in the captives because they are soldiers," Obeida said.
