Bali International Airport
Indonesian authorities have allotted a multi-million dollar budget to expand five airports in the country. The state airport operator PT Angkasa Pura I (AP I) has allocated IDR5.6 trillion (US$655.2 million) to expand airports in Bali, Balikpapan, Surabaya, Yogyakarta and Banjarmasin. The operator intends to convert the facilities into world-class transport hubs with hotels and shopping centres by 2013. By increasing the passenger capacity of each airport, AP I expects to increase company revenues and help drive development of Indonesia’s travel and tourism industry. AP I public relations spokeperson, Merpin Butarbutar, told the Jakarta Post that the organisation will look to expand other airports when these projects are complete.
