Jero Wacik hints at new airport location
From Bali Discovery:
Beritabali.com reports that Indonesia’s Minister of Culture and Tourism, Jero Wacik, is not prepared to divulge the exact location of a planned airport for Buleleng in north Bali. However, while officiating at a festival at Lake Batur, Kintamani, Wacik hinted to the press that the Bali’s second major air gateway will be located "either behind or alongside" Mt Batur.
Responding to reporters’ questions on the location for the Buleleng International Airport, Jero Wacik refused to reveal the exact location. However, while presenting a speech at the opening of the Lake Batur Festival, Wacik told his listeners that a new airport would be built either behind or beside Mount Batur.
Dropping a clue, Wacik said, “the economy and tourism surrounding Batur and Kintamani, Bangli will continue to progress because behind Mount Batur will soon stand a new airport.”
He went on to say that once the exact location is fixed the land acquisition process could commence, paving the way for the construction of the airport.
The Minister said design work has already begun on the new airport.
The Minister said he was unable to give the exact location of the new airport in order to prevent land speculators from misusing such information.
Speculation places the new airport on the north side of Mount Batur, somewhere between Kutambahan and Tejakula
Wacik said construction on the new airport would begin before the end of the year.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat drinking beer all day.
Dumb and Dumber
I'm no expert but I can't see an "international airport" being built along that stretch of coastline as a possibility. The sea is on one side and the hills on the other. Are large jets going to land parallel to the coastline or perpendicular to it? And even IF it goes there, how and how long will it take people get down South or Ubud where most tourists will be heading to?
I hope Mr Wacko does a better job in his new position as Energy Minister, but I doubt it.
"Wonderful Indonesia", indeed.
ain't gonna happen on that stretch of land...
don't read between the lines..i think the words are clear enough...:)
And if Bali build's a second international airport, what will happen with the original international airport. Will Bali then have two international airports?
If Bali has two international airports, how will the airlines decide to which airport they fly? Will not nearly every Bali visitor prefer to fly to Ngurah Rai?
you guys do realize that 'international' doesn't actually mean that international flights will arrive...
there are airports that have international in their name, without any international flights arriving...
don't read between the lines..i think the words are clear enough...:)
Ok, so they are planning on building a new international airport that will only serve domestic flights.
I think you will have to change your signature Gilbert ;)
I guess time will tell us what the actual deal is. So many different versions.
eventually there will be going international flights in and out from the new airport.
but as far as I know not immediatly.
airlines will choose what's cheaper for them in the long run..i.e.landingfees/groundhandling fees/etcetc..
ngurah airport will stay as it is, not like open up a new one so the old one gets closed.
I agree with that most people will prefer to fly into the south...maybe international cargo flights will head north, relieving the traffic down south
don't read between the lines..i think the words are clear enough...:)
Yeah - now wouldn't that be great? How would the cargo then get down south? Via Bedugul, Pupuan or Kintamani?...maybe international cargo flights will head north, relieving the traffic down south
Why don't they build the thing inside the Batur caldera? It would make as much "sense" as this poorly conceived fantasy (nightmare?).
Welcome to Wacko's Wonderful Indonesia

Ehm...maybe via the also new planned tol road..Originally Posted by JohnnyCool

Which is going to be built where, exactly and when? From north to south over the mountain range or are they "planning" to build long tunnels through it?Ehm...maybe via the also new planned tol road..
The Serangen-Nusa Dua "tollway", all 11.5 kms of it, is still a work in progress (and a poorly thought-out band-aid measure). The removal of the statue at Simpang Siur might finally begin in November. Oops - sorry, I think they've decided to leave the bloody thing there and either build a fly-over if they can afford to buy the surrounding land, or build a tunnel underneath it (where the water table is around 1.5 metres).
I'll believe it all when I see it...
