'In the first phase, we are going to launch our F&B [food and beverage] business by opening our first coffee shop, Republik, at Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Sepinggan Airport [in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan],' Angkasa Pura Retail president director Teges Prita Soraya told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday.
In addition, AP I president director Tommy Soetomo said the newly established subsidiary should be able to manage 15 percent of areas in each airport AP I managed, to be used for its businesses.
'We want to give the best service and airport experience to customers by establishing Angkasa Pura Retail. Better services will help increase the Customer Satisfaction Index,' Tommy told the Post.
He said that 25 global brands such as Wakai, Timberland, Red&White, Wine Spirits, South Dakota, Richfield, Levi's, and National Geographic Store have partnered with Angkasa Pura Retail.
Meanwhile, the subsidiary was currently working on its businesses including creating 11 original in-house brands like BACI, which was going to be the firm's make-up and beauty store in every airport.
AP I manages 13 airports across the archipelago such as Adisutjipto International Airport in Yogyakarta, Ngurah Rai International Airport in the country's tourist gateway Bali, Juanda International Airport in East Java, and Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport in South Sulawesi. (++++)
