“We are invited [to take part in a tender] along with AirAsia,” AP II finance director Andra Y Agusalam said in Jakarta on Wednesday as quoted by kompas.com.
AP II had submitted a document of the tender that was also followed by operators of Zurich International Airport in Switzerland and the Changi International Airport in Singapore, Andra said.
He added that AP II president director Muhammad Awaluddin would go to Manila for the tender process.
