Airport Tax at Ngurah Rai Airport Rises Effective December 1, 2010
EFFECTIVE December 1, 2010, PT Angkasa Pura I (Persero) imposes the increase of air passenger service rate (PJP2U). Domestic rate of PJP2U or better known as domestic airport tax of the Ngurah Rai Airport in Denpasar was adapted from IDR 30,000 to IDR 40,000, said General Manager of PT Angkasa Pura I (Persero) Ngurah Rai Airport, Heru Legowo, recently.
According to him, the tariff adjustment was implemented in order to improve the facilities and services. His party would continue to develop the airport facilities and infrastructure with the aim of improving the service provision to passengers. “Within the past few years, PT Angkasa Pura I has actively performed a repair to the airport facilities, such as terminals, landing ground, air navigation, and others requiring great expense,” continued Heru while exemplifying the addition of 400 trolleys to 1000.
Heru also added that PJP2U revenue per day reached IDR 1.2 billion. Proceeds of the domestic airport tax for one day were just around IDR 200 million or one-sixth of the total revenue. It was said that the number of domestic passengers per day reached an average of 6,000 – 7,000 people. “We expect the support of all parties in order the performance of airport service improvements can be realized pursuant to the expectation of the service users,” said Heru.
Then, related to the letter issued by Governor of Bali hoping a sharing of IDR 10,000 from domestic and IDR 25,000 from international passengers, Heru said the proposal was being learned by Minister of Transportation. However, Heru said his party did not want to overstep the authority of the Minister of Transportation to give further clarification. (BTN/bud)
