Sriwijaya Air Canceled Some Flights, Including From Batam

In fact, Nasrul had been at airport since 7 o'clock in the morning.

"This is a fraud. Already know the plane does not exist, but tickets are still sold, can still get boarding passes. What is this for?" he said.

On the other hand, there was a polemic between Sriwijaya Air and Garuda Indonesia airline. Previously, in a statement obtained by Kompas.com, Thursday (11/07/2019), Garuda Indonesia Maintenance and Service Director Iwan Joeniarto stated that this had happened because an agreement between Garuda Indonesia and Sriwijaya Air's shareholders was deadlocked.

"Due to certain conditions that prevented the two parties from reaching an agreement, we hereby announce that the owner of Sriwijaya has withdrawn," Iwan wrote.

The statement also said that relationship between Garuda and Sriwijaya Air would be reviewed on business to business basis.

Meanwhile Sriwijaya Air Group, both Sriwijaya Air and NAM Air, reportedly canceled flights to a number of routes from Hang Nadim Airport, Batam, Friday (11/08/2019).

The flight cancellation was allegedly related to hot atmosphere between PT Garuda Indonesia and Sriwijaya Air Group.

BUBU Director Hang Nadim Batam, Suwarso confirmed news of the cancellation for Sriwijaya Air flights from Friday to Sunday (11/10/2019).

"Yeah right, for today until Sunday there is indeed a cancellation of Sriwijaya Air and Nam Air flights," he said on Friday (11/08/2019).

Even so, manager of Hang Nadim Batam airport asked Sriwijaya Group to continue providing the best service.

"The airport has requested that the counter / ticketing remains open to provide information," he added.
