Indonesia: Airport Reopens After Fire
Dec. 03, 2007
On December 2, domestic flights resumed at one of Indonesia's busiest airports after a fire destroyed the terminal and left one person injured, an official said.
Polonia Airport is located in Indonesia's third-largest city, Medan, the regional capital of Sumatra island.
It handles about 4.5 million passengers a year and has been criticized in the past for reportedly operating far beyond its capacity.
The cause of the fire, which broke out on December 1, was believed to be a short circuit on the domestic terminal's second floor.
