Bali`s Ngurah Rai airport to be broadened
December 19th, 2008
Denpasar, Bali  (ANTARA News) - Construction activities to broaden Bali`s international Ngurah Rai Airport will be conducted beginning 2009 in a bid to improve its services to passengers, an official said.
The construction design of the airport has been made available, said Heru Legowo, general manager of PT Angkasa Pura, as operator of I Gusti Ngurah Rai airport here on Thursday, adding that his office should make a coordination with the related institutions regarding the design.
“Coordination with Badung regent is aimed at getting inputs before carrying out the construction projects,” he said.
The present airport facilities can no longer accommodate the growing number of passengers, he said, noting that the Bali airport was expected to be able to cater about 70 thousand passengers daily, compared with its current accommodation capacity of about 13 thousand passengers.
According to him, development of the airport terminal with total of constructing budget of Rp900 billion was expected to be completed in 2012.
“Special passenger flyover will be constructed starting from the eastern gate, so there will be two street levels of entry heading to the airport terminal as that of the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport,” Heru said. (*)
