"When the toll road is completed, the journey can take 40 to 50 minutes (from Balikpapan) to Nusantara," he stated at the groundbreaking of the PT Intiland Development Tbk here on Monday.
Jokowi noted that once completed, the Nusantara Airport will facilitate access from all cities in Indonesia to the new capital city.
The president noted that the travel time between IKN and the Nusantara Airport, with its 2,200-meter runway, is only 15 minutes.
Jokowi stated that Nusantara Airport is actually reserved for VVIPs, though now, the public can use it.
"When these two facilities are completed, Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Medan, and Makassar to Nusantara will be closer," he noted.
