The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the air transportation sector, particularly Soekarno-Hatta (Soetta) International Airport, has been quite significant. The number of passengers at Soetta Airport has decreased due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but flight activities are still ongoing to this day. An accurate forecasting model is needed to predict the number of airline passengers at Soetta Airport with the presence of the COVID-19 pandemic as an intervention. In this study we discuss performance comparison of two models namely SARIMA intervention and Prophet in forecasting the number of domestic passengers at Soetta Airport. The research results showed that the best SARIMA intervention model was SARIMA (0,1,1)(1,0,0)12 b = 0, s = 20, r = 0, with a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 28% and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 433473. On the other hand, the Prophet model yielded a MAPE of 37% and an RMSE of 497154. In terms of MAPE and RMSE, the SARIMA intervention method provides better results than the Prophet model in forecasting the number of domestic passengers at Soetta Airport.
