TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Joko Widodo or Jokowi would inaugurate the new terminal of Tjilik Riwut Airport and other airports which would be centered in Palangkaraya City on February 7, said Regional Secretary of Central Kalimantan, Fahrizal Fitri.
“The inauguration ceremony of all airports that have not been inaugurated yet and completely constructed in 2018 will be held in Palangkaraya. But I don’t know the number,” said Fahrizal in Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan, Thursday, January 17.
According to Fahrizal, Tjilik Riwut Airport is the honor for the region and people of Central Kalimantan as the gate of the province.
The airport operator had approved a proposal sent by the provincial administration in light of the newly built airport. At present, the airport only requires the layout settings. “We still wait for the commercial unit of PT Angkasa Pura II to manage the location and proposal realization,” Fahrizal noted.
Fahrizal continued to say that the new terminal of Tjilik Riwut Airport will be the regional icon. Thus, he expected that people arriving in Palangkaraya would instantly acknowledge the identity of Central Kalimantan through the airport.
