JAKARTA - Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi said the Cileunyi-Sumedang-Dawun (Cisumdawu) Toll Road will be operated starting April 15, 2023. The toll road will operate functionally for Eid Al-Fitr 2023 homecoming.

Budi said the toll road would connect Bandung City and Kertajati Airport located in Majelangka Regency.

Another good news that I had told you yesterday. It works on the Cisamdawu Toll Road from Bandung to Kertajati on the 15th (April)," he said at a press conference at the State Palace, quoted from the Presidential Secretariat, Friday, March 24.

Budi hopes that the operation of the Cisamdawu Toll Road can increase the number of passengers at Kertajati Airport as well as reduce the number of passengers at Soekarno-Hatta Airport.

The plan, continued Budi, is that the airport is projected to help the number of aircraft movements at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, which reaches 1,000 to 2,000 aircraft movements per day, with higher occupancy than the pandemic.

Kertajati is an addition for those who leave the country. Transport goods, and also for those who want to go public," he said.

Budi also said that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) had advised Kertajati Airport to be an alternative for people who want to go abroad or Umrah.

Furthermore, Budi said Kertajati Airport has also been confirmed to be used to become a departure place for pilgrims.

"(The Saudi Arabian government) has made observations of the Kertajati Airport and has been declared effective," he explained.
