P
rovince-owned enterprise Bandara Internasional Jawa Barat (BIJB) has stated that it will sign a contract with state-owned airport operator Angkasa Pura (AP) II for the management of under construction Kertajati Airport in Majalengka, West Java.
"It is because they have a BUBU [airport operator permit]," BIJB president director Virda Dimas Ekaputra said on Friday.
BIJB is currently in charge of constructing facilities on the land side of the airport with an investment of Rp 2.1 trillion (US$157.5 million).

He said BIJB might give AP II five years to operate the airport as it also would work on getting its own BUBU and operate it after that.
The airport, which is designed as an international airport, is being developed on 4,000-square-meters of land. It will be located 72.7 kilometers from Husein Sastranegara International Airport in the provincial capital of Bandung. (bbn)
