housand Islands regency has met with state-run oil and gas company PT Pertamina over plans to build an airplane fueling station in the southern part of the regency, an official has said.
The station will be located close to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.
"We’ll offer [PT Pertamina] the opportunity to build on the Ubi islet. They will need to revitalize the islet prior to using it," Thousand Islands Regent Budi Utomo said as quoted by beritajakarta.com on Monday.
According to Budi, the two-hectare islet is just five kilometers from the airport and is therefore a suitable location for the station.
He added that the regency would conduct a study related to the plans. (dmr)
