Pelindo Regional 3 Predictions, Increase in 2023 Lebaran Mudik Passengers by 15%

Surabaya, 05 April 2023 - Pelindo Regional 3, has predicted an increase in the number of passengers going back and forth to Eid by 15% compared to last year (YoY) during the 2023 Eid homecoming. His party has also instructed all terminal General Managers to anticipate this surge.  Ardhy Wahyu Basuki, Regional Head 3 of Pelindo, said that this increase is predicted to be caused by the post-pandemic national economic growth as well as the Government's addition of holidays and Eid al-Fitr holidays. This has made many people want to celebrate Eid al-Fitr with their families in their hometowns after not being able to do so in 2022 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

To prepare for the increase in the number of passengers, Pelindo Regional 3 has made a number of efforts. Some of them are coordinating with all Terminal GMs to ensure the flow of terminal services, improving infrastructure, and improving services to ensure smooth loading and unloading of goods and passengers at the port.

"We have predicted that there will be an increase in passengers through several analyses, and we are committed to providing the best service to all port service users, especially at the moment of Eid which is an important moment for the Indonesian people," said Ardhy.

Ardhy added that at least several main ports such as Tanjung Perak, Tanjung Emas, Kupang, Kumai and Lembar are still the main destinations for this year's Eid homecoming and will continue to be the largest contributor to passenger flow in region 3.  "The 5 main ports above are indeed of particular concern to us in terms of going home for Eid each year because they are always packed with travelers and account for more than 50% of our passenger flow. However, we will still anticipate the movements of other ports," Ardhy concluded.  Previously in the 2022 homecoming transport there were at least 488,551 Eid homecoming passengers spread over the 20 terminals it managed, of which 234,811 were embarkation passengers and 253,740 were disembarkation passengers.
