Semarang, C Java (Antara) - An Indonesian Air Force's T-50i jet fighter conducted an emergency landing at the Ahmad Yani International Airport in Semarang, Central Java Province, on Friday. Bakti Yuda, the airport's air traffic controller, confirmed that the airport was temporarily shut down as a result of the emergency landing. "We had to close the airport for 45 minutes as we had to implement emergency procedures," Bakti said. The temporary shutdown had disrupted several flight schedules at the Ahmad Yani International Airport. Several airlines also delayed their flights, he said. The T-50i aircraft was expected to fly to the Iswahyudi Airport in Madiun City. The air traffic controller said the T-50i aircraft had to make an emergency landing since an emergency indicator on the plane started flashing during the flight, which was indicative of a technical snag. Meanwhile, several passengers at the Ahmad Yani Airport were disappointed with the temporary shutdown. One of the passengers of Lion Air, Hadi Santoso, decided to cancel his tickets after his flight got delayed. "The plane was scheduled to take off at 9:45 am local time but they delayed the flight to 1:00 pm local time," Hadi said. (*)
