PT Angkasa Pura II Minangkabau International Airport Branch Office (BIM) located in Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatra, ensures that there will be regular flight adjustments at the airport when Vice President Ma'ruf Amin arrives. "Since RI 2 (the Vice President) is in the special category, there will be adjustments to other flight routes," said Executive General Manager of PT Angkasa Pura II BIM Siswanto in Padang, Antara, Tuesday, September 5. Siswanto explained that every time the Vice President or other naratama guests come, airport officials will always apply service and security standards. Including coordinating with the local Military Resort Command (Korem) to the Presidential Security Forces (Paspampres). "So, make sure there will be some standard implementation related to the handling of VIP aircraft," he said. Usually, half an hour before and after the presidential plane lands or takes off at BIM, other regular planes have to wait about 30 minutes. The goal is that there are no disturbances or obstacles for VIP flight. Vice President Ma'aruf Amin is scheduled to attend the peak of the World Islamic Entrepreneur Summit (WIES) September 8, 2023 in Padang City, West Sumatra. In the agenda, the former chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) will discuss several things, including the ASEAN halal industry.
