The Bandung City Government welcomed President Prabowo Subianto's directive to reactivate Husein Sastranegara Airport for broad commercial and international flights. Currently limited to domestic propeller aircraft, the airport once handled 3.8 million passengers in 2019. To restore this peak, President Prabowo instructed Bappenas and the Ministry of Defense to conduct deep feasibility studies, noting the runway remains capable of accommodating medium-body aircraft like Boeing 737s and Airbus A320s. Mayor Muhammad Farhan announced that the city will focus on infrastructure upgrades to manage the anticipated traffic surge, including optimizing highway exits through the PT Dirgantara Indonesia area and utilizing the Nurtanio flyover to streamline airport access.Source: https://www.antaranews.com/berita/5584893/pemkot-bandung-sambut-baik-rencana-presiden-reaktivasi-bandara-huseinv (ICE GIACARTA)
