Abstract

Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, one of Indonesia's busiest airports, faces the challenge of high air traffic congestion. Airlines, including low-cost carriers (LCCs) like Citilink, play a crucial role in this congestion dynamic. This study aims to analyze the influence of Citilink airline flight traffic on traffic density at Soekarno-Hatta Airport and identify factors that influence the choice of flight schedules and routes. The research method employed is a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative data in the form of daily departure data from November 14, 2024, to January 31, 2025, were analyzed using simple linear regression with the help of SPSS and JMP Pro. Meanwhile, qualitative data were obtained through structured interviews with the Flight Permit Lead of PT. Citilink Indonesia. The results show that Citilink flight traffic has a significant impact on density at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, contributing 25.7% to total density, 59.6% on the busiest route (Jakarta-Denpasar), and 15.7% during peak hours. It was also found that the main factors influencing flight schedule selection are market demand during peak hours, a focus on priority routes, and an operational strategy that emphasizes On-Time Performance (OTP) and coordination with AirNav Indonesia.

Abstract

Fatigue is a critical human-factors hazard in flight training because it can impair attention, procedural memory, communication, and aircraft control. This study examined the dominant causes of fatigue among cadet pilots at the Indonesian Aviation Academy Banyuwangi, the strategies used to manage it, and the institutional implications for flight training safety. A descriptive qualitative case-study design was supported by an exploratory questionnaire, direct observation of training schedules, semi-structured interviews, and a literature review. Thirty-one cadets in the CPL-IR phase with more than 50 flight hours completed a seven-item questionnaire, and four cadets representing the participating cohorts completed interviews guided by 15 questions. Questionnaire data were summarized using frequencies, while interview and observation data were analyzed through data condensation, thematic display, and conclusion verification. Twenty-nine of 31 cadets reported experiencing fatigue. The most frequently reported contributors were insufficient sleep (13 responses), high physical workload (10), and insufficient nutrition (8). Concentration and procedural disruption were the most common consequences (18 responses). Interviews further showed that compressed schedules, consecutive flight, simulator, academic, hangar, and dormitory duties created cumulative fatigue, while institutional responses to fatigue reporting were inconsistent. The study is novel in framing cadet fatigue as an interaction between individual recovery practices and institutional scheduling conditions. It recommends an academy-level Fatigue Risk Management System incorporating non-punitive reporting, schedule-risk assessment, pre-flight fitness checks, protected rest, and nutrition and hydration support.
