TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta: The Transportation Department will soon build administrator’s offices at 20 airports this year including in Solo, Yogyakarta, Semarang, Banjarmasin and Manado. 

“It is expected that this will all be done by the end of 2009,” Director General of Air Transportation, Budhi Muliawan Suyitno told Tempo, last Wednesday (4/3). 

Out of 25 airports, only five currently have administrator’s office. 

“These are at Soekarno-Hatta airport in Jakarta, Ngurah-Rai in Bali, Hasanuddin in Makassar, Juanda in Surabaya and Polonia in Medan,” said Budhi. 

The funding for these offices will come from non-tax state revenues. 

The administrator’s offices will increase the monitoring of airport and flight activities.
