Pandjaitan has instructed the operator to conduct intensive coordination with the protocols of the State Secretariat and Foreign Affairs Ministry to handle the arrivals and operations of the delegations, while monitoring the development of Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali, on Saturday.
The airport is expected to be developed by improving the ground and air facilities according to regulations, schedules, and details.
AP I President Director, Faik Fahmi, guaranteed that the facilities of Ngurah Rai International Airport will be 100 percent completed by August 2018, a month before the meeting would be held.
The development of Ngurah Rai International Airport includes upgrading the runway capacity, which can serve 33 flights per hour from 30 flights per hour, as well as building a car park facility, with a capacity of 1,615 car slots.
AP I is also constructing additional reporting booths in the international terminal, from 96 units of 2,740 square meters to 126 units of 4,420 square meters; additional rapid exit taxiway, from two to three tracks; and additional parking area, which can accommodate 63 aircraft from the initial 53 aircraft.
In response to welcoming the IMF-WBG delegations, AP I has prepared some measures to smoothen the movement of airplanes and passengers during the meeting and manage traffic alternative control.
The measures include the option to use fast track or regular arrival terminals, including coordination with Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine.
The upcoming IMF-WBG Annual Meeting will be held in the resort area of Nusa Dua, Bali, from Oct 12 to 14, 2018.
The meeting will gather more than 17 thousand delegates from 189 countries.
In addition to the heads of state, the delegates include finance ministers, central bank governors and stakeholders, and other relevant parties in the economic field. *** 1 ***
