Waiting for Komodo Airport Expansion

Summary

President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo wants Komodo Airport in Labuan Bajo, West Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), to be expanded. The runway must be lengthened by 100 meters to serve flights using wide-body aircraft. "The Transportation Minister said the runway is still not long enough. So yes, add it, maximize it. It must be ready next year," Jokowi said during his visit to Labuan Bajo on Thursday. After the expansion, foreign tourists do not need to transit at Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali before going to Labuan Bajo.

Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi explained that the Komodo Airport runway is only 2,600 meters. "[The expansion] can accommodate aircraft that take ten hours of flight, wide-body planes that can cover many international routes," he said.
