Currently, Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Airport owns a bigger reading room than any other airport in the nation. This reading corner was created to provide a comfortable place for passengers to wait for their flights to depart, especially those experiencing delays.
"This facility is a part of our creative program to give extra comfort for passengers," said Pujiono
Prior to the launching of reading corner, Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Airport added a cinema facility last year. Pujiono shared that the company would be adding extra facilities soon. (jes/asw)
