Tangerang – Hundreds of people claiming to be employees of money changer firms at Soekarno-Hatta airport staged a rally, causing long congestions at the western gate on Thursday morning.

The employees demanded the airport's management cancel a plan to relocate money changer outlets from Terminal B and E to the arrivals section.

"The move will disadvantage money changer businesses," the strike's coordinator Rahmat Aryanto said, as quoted by Tempointeraktif.com.

The strike lasted for more than an hour and caused congestion that spanned four kilometers along the western gate and on nearby Jl. Suryadarma.
