On Nov. 23, Tourism Minister Arief Yahya went to see the development of Silangit International Airport in North Sumatra.

He walked through the indoor and outdoor areas of the airport, arrival gates and existing restaurants, examining every detail of the physical amenities for the passengers, including the restaurants and cafes that will soon be in operation. 

“The growing accommodation shows how alive tourism [industry] is, it’s the result from the improvement on air accessibility,” told Arief.

The airport was officiated as an international airport on Sept. 8 this year.

“By the end of 2017, the airport will have the width of 45 meters and can accommodate narrow body airplanes like Airbus 320 and Boeing 737-800,” he added. (asw)
