Kites in Crowsare, with planes endanger the danger

In a two -kilometer grain field from Jakarta’s International Airport, the Rustle of Flower Kite Airlines drowns from time to time due to the thunderstorm.

There is a group of children to tug the kite wires in the field, their neck has turned to the sky. But their eyes are also descending, airport officials are patrolling officials who can come to seize their kites – and their fun.

“Previously, my friends and I will escape when I arrive at an officer,” seven -year -old Afif tells the BBC of the fields. “Now I’m a braver, so when they beat me, I go with it.”

“If my kite is taken, it is bad, but I can always make another one.”

Airport officials are emerging between the Authorities and the most loving weapons in Indonesia.

Kite -Uddan is popular in Indonesia – especially at this time of the year when students go on a summer vacation. But officials have warned of kites, who have said that if they block the plane sensor or stuck in the engine, there is a risk of safety.

In the early three days of July, 21 flights were disrupted at Sokarno-Hatta International Airport near the kite field, according to Air-Traffic Controller Ername Indonesia. Some were diverted to another airport and some abortion landing, considering the kite closer.

The BBC told the BBC that there are “barriers” and “severe threat to flight safety” for kite planes, the head of the Sokarno-Hatta International Airport Airport Airport, Putu AK tells the BBC.

“We don’t want to be an accident.”

Such fear is not baseless.

Three Indonesians and two Australians were injured after a helicopter stuck in a kite string by a helicopter in Bali on July 224.

On July 7, the wires from the kite and the bamboo sticks were found in the aircraft engine when they came to Sokarno-Hatta. While managing the plane to land without accident, the incident led to serious security concerns. Later in the month, the airport set up a task force on a kite-boiling kite near its yard.

Five years later, the problem remains. In July, Transport Minister Dudi Purvadi appealed to the airport officials and regional governments in Indonesia to reduce the loss of kite flights.

“This is definitely a fun activity, but we also need their education to prevent or prevent or from the activities that can endanger the flights or children,” says Mr. Putu.

His colleagues have tried to give children a football and badminton racket to get to other sports. But kite-making is woven in the fabric of Indonesian culture.

Traditionally made with leaves, colorful paper or clothing, kites are flown in Indonesia for different reasons: for rice harvesting ceremony, chase birds, or in victims, prayers and offering to God.

The Indonesia Kite Museum expert Eesep Iranan says, “For the generations of air transport that fly from our ancestors.

“However, we need to be careful, especially (especially (with children). They just fly them. They do not see a potential risk.”

Flying air transport kites, drones, or other things that showcase the risk of safety around the airport can be imprisoned for three years, or a billion Indonesian Rupee ($ 61,000; 1 46,000) may be fined.

But this is not just on airstrips that kites can be dangerous. Kite is also a deadly distraction in the dense population. Last year, an eight -year -old boy died on the toll road in Depok City, south of Jakarta. Police believe that he was hit by a car while chasing a kite.

In 2, a man was arrested after breaking his kite and falling at Bali’s substation, which caused a few hours of blackout in more than 70,000 houses and buildings.

Back to grain fields near the Sokarno-Hatta airport, children say they cannot be confused with planes-but they are strictly pressured to find a better place for their hobby.

Jakarta lost 31% of the urban green seats between 2000 and 2020, as the fields and forests showed the way to the crowded roads and apartment blocks.

“There are nowhere else,” she makes and sells a kite, kite. “There is another place, but it’s still near the airport. There are no other places to fly.”

In the paddy field, kite is now the home of enthusiastic people, which organize regular kite-wide competitions. The zodiac has won them twice.

He has previously been in trouble with airport officials officials, who cheated and seized the kite.

“The police came to our house and they took my two kites and burnt them, wires and all. After that, my siblings beat me and told me to stop. But recently I started flying the kite again,” he says.

“It’s so dangerous. But once you remove your kite, don’t be afraid.”
