In Indonesia’s skies, a tug of war has emerged between planes and kites, leading to safety concerns and clashes between aviation authorities and kite enthusiasts. The issue unfolded in Jakarta on July 15th when a group of kite flyers disregarded warnings and flew their kites near Soekarno-Hatta International Airport’s airspace.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Indonesia (CAAI) swiftly condemned the kite flying near the airport, stating that it posed a danger to incoming and outgoing flights. The CAAI emphasized the importance of adhering to aviation safety regulations to prevent potential accidents.
