Medan, March 19, 2024 - PT Pertamina (Persero) ensures the readiness of facilities and infrastructure (sarfas), energy supply, and distribution in Medan, North Sumatra. On Monday (18/3), the Pertamina Group Board of Directors observed several operational areas in Medan in preparation for the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr Task Force (Satgas RAFI) Pertamina, especially to face the Eid holiday.

This Safari Ramadan visit will be held in several cities in Indonesia.

Salyadi Saputra, President Director of Pertamina Gas Negara, Arief Setiawan Handoko, and President Director of Pertamina Patra Niaga, Riva Siahaan.

Vice President Director Wiko Migantoro revealed that the facilities in North Sumatra are ready. In addition to the supply and distribution of fuel, LPG, and Avtur, Pertamina also ensures the reliability of other facilities, including supply distribution support for industries and work safety aspects implementation.

"We also enhance monitoring of community needs so that if critical issues arise, they can be quickly addressed," he explained.

At the Kualanamu Pertamina Aviation Fuel Terminal, facilities for distributing Avtur to aircraft are also in sufficient condition to serve the Kualanamu International Airport.
