Indonesia Pins Hopes on Private Sector for Airport Development
Talks resume over new facility to replace Jakarta’s international gateway

In an urgent bid to address overcapacity and modernize existing infrastructure, the Indonesian government has turned to the private sector to fund a series of airport projects across the sprawling archipelago. In recent days, the government has revived talks of a new $10 billion international airport to serve as an alternative to Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta Airport, which has operated beyond design capacity for more than 10 years. Authorities have earmarked reclaimed land some nine miles north of Soekarno-Hatta for the project, plans for which call for financing from a private-public partnership scheme between investors and state-owned PT Angkasa Pura II.
