JAKARTA, Oct 24 (Bloomberg): Indonesia is tightening air travel measures to ensure an anticipated jump in the number of passengers ahead of year-end holidays won't lead to a resurgence in coronavirus infections.

Airlines must allocate dedicated seats for any passengers who show symptoms during the flight, even when they have tested negative for the virus before departure, according to Covid-19 task force spokesman Wiku Adisasmito.
