wow. that is a good achievement. I hope Soekarno Hatta International Airport will be placed in the first position. Anyway, what is the source of this article??
Now, now, this is surprising!!
According to the research I’ve found there is no Indonesia in second row mention. There’s only 3rd position which is Narita Airport, can you give me the valid link for this particular news?
