Kuta
(Antara Bali) - Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi has visited the
Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali and called upon airport
management company PT Angkasa Pura-I to improve the airports
facilities.
"The growth of passengers at the I Gusti Ngurah Rai airport is very
rapid. Within a few years it rose by 112 per cent. Therefore, PT
Angkasa Pura-I should develop a more detailed plan and put it in place
soon in order to increase the capacity of the airport terminal," Sumadi
remarked.
He said the government planned to increase the capacity of Ngurah
Rai International Airport terminal from 25 million to 35 million
passengers per year.
"Therefore, I ask PT Angakasa Pura-I to improve the airport
facility, such as the runways and exit taxiway, in order to accommodate
all types of wide-bodied aircraft," the transportation minister said.
In his first visit as minister of transportation, Budi Karya
conducted a closed-door meeting and also toured the domestic and
international terminals at the airport.
Budi Karya also touched on the setting of "time slots", especially
for small-bodied aircraft such as ATR, which arrive at the airport in
Bali. (WDY)
