A GA Center for Indonesia
Heard someone is proposing to keep the Seleparang Airport in Lombok as GA Airport after operation is moved to the new BIL (Bandara International Lombok) end of this year. However this is a new concept even local Government is supportive but due to business consideration it may not be possible.
This needs support of GA and Pilots in the Country to convince the owner of the land that such project is better to convert it to a shopping mal. By the way, who will go to shop in Lombok?
If it can be a GA Center, say for a few years, then with situation change, it can be reassessed again if it can be changed to other use or remain for GA. There is no need to be hurry.
In Jakarta, heard that DGCA will not approve new operatin of 141 there. New 141 needs to go elsewhere. Is Lombok a better location with its resorts and close proximity to Bali? If Lombok is developed as GA Center, it can attractive GA enthusiasts to the island, increase its name among people of same hobby in the region and then make the name of Lombok known to the World.
Can you (Indo GA fans) think of other ways of making use of the opportunity?
