JAKARTA - Soekarno-Hatta Airport which is managed by PT Angkasa Pura II (Persero) is again in the spotlight. After experiencing a roof leak in the Terminal III area due to heavy rain, this time the quality of the carpet in one of the areas got the attention of the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Erick Thohir.
According to Erick, the quality of the carpet is very concerning.
Initially, Erick was indeed on a visit to Soekarno-Hatta Airport. He was accompanied by a number of officials, including the President Director of PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk Irfan Setiaputra.
Then, Erick seemed to have stopped at a point where the carpet looked damaged.
"The quality is poor," said Erick, in a video uploaded to the Instagram account @erickthohir with the title 'Rapi-Rapi Soetta', quoted Tuesday, February 15.
"This is really bad," continued Erick.
Erick then asked the management to review the company's financial aspects. He admitted that the airport was still quiet due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Erick looked disappointed and questioned how the carpet was chosen.
"Look at the finances first. The airport is also quiet. What do you mean by the quality of the selection?" asked Erick.
According to Erick, there are usually two types of carpet used. Therefore, he asked the Executive General Manager of Soekarno-Hatta Airport Agus Haryadi regarding the type of carpet used.
"Usually there are two carpets, right? Some are heavy duty, some are everyday. What I know is that heavy duty has a range for how many years, I don't know," he said.
Erick said Soekarno-Hatta International Airport is Indonesia's main airport for tourists or guests coming from abroad. Therefore, according to him, Soekarno-Hatta Airport should be able to give the best face.
"As a tourist entry gate, Soekarno-Hatta Airport must be able to give its best face. Its services must be improved and maintained," Erick wrote.
