On this occasion, Erick again mentioned the merger that had been carried out at PT Pelindo (Persero) from four companies to one in 2021. He said the merger made Pelindo able to carry out efficiency and optimization reaching IDR 1.3 trillion in 2022.

Previously reported, Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir gave the latest news regarding the merger or merger of Angkasa Pura I and II. He said, the merger of this airport management company took at least three months.

"Regarding Angkasa Pura, this is indeed a plan that takes 3 months, so this year there has been an initial assessment," said Erick in a working meeting (raker) of Commission VI of the DPR, in Jakarta, Monday, December 4.

Erick explained that airport or airport industries in various countries have begun to change. Therefore, Erick considered it necessary to anticipate. Moreover, he said, sometimes the industry is trapped in its outer appearance.

However, he continued, many countries are the opposite where the outside of the airport looks normal but the conditions inside are good. Erick said, this made Turkey's airport the best airport in 2022.

"Sometimes we are airports trapped for visuals outside, so the building is good. But if we look at benchmarking from various countries, actually the extraordinary buildings are normal, in fact, it must be good inside," he said.
