tate-owned airport operator PT Angkasa Pura (AP) II through its subsidiary, PT Angkasa Pura Kargo, is preparing logistic facilities at a bonded zone of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tengarang, Banten, a press statement says.
The facilities will be developed into three phases: Building 1, a 1,500-square-meter facility on which construction will begin this year, and Building 2 and Building 3, measuring 10,000 square meters each, which are to be built in 2018 and 2019 respectively.
“Soerkarno-Hatta airport and Tanjung Priok Seaport are relatively close together. Therefore, we will develop a bonded zone at the airport,” said AP II president director Muhammad Awaluddin in his statement.

The construction of the facilities aims to support the government's effort to reduce logistics costs for businesses, said Awaluddin, adding that the cargo facility would also be used by aviation companies to store spare aircraft parts to help speed up plane repairs.
Imported spare parts would be stored at the bonded zone and if they are to be used outside the bonded areas, clearance would be quickly implemented, he added.
Awaluddin said the cargo facilities could increase the company’s revenues by Rp 2.5 trillion (US$187. 5 million) per year, particularly if spare plane parts could be stored in Indonesia. (bbn)
