JAKARTA - PT Angkasa Pura II (Persero), as the manager of the Minangkabau International Airport in Padang Pariaman, West Sumatra, has officially implemented a cashless service using electronic money for parking services at the airport entrance gate.

"This policy is to support the government's program to promote the use of digital money in the community," said Minangkabau International Airport Executive General Manager Yos Suwagiyono in Padang Pariaman, West Sumatra, quoted from Antara, Tuesday, June 22.

Currently, for non-cash payments at airport gates in collaboration with BNI, BRI and Mandiri, each bank uses electronic money. In the future, Bank Nagari will also provide services at the airport gate, he said.

He reminded people who are going to the airport that they already have electronic money, namely Brizzi cards, Tap Cash, or E-Money as well as the QRIS application to facilitate access in and out of the airport.

"With this cashless payment system, we hope that people will start getting used to using cashless services wherever they are," he said.

In the future, Minangkabau Airport will also apply non-cash transactions to all business processes in the airport area.

"Support from the Bank Indonesia Representative for West Sumatra and the existing banking elements will make it easier to implement this plan," he said.

The full involvement of BRI, BNI, Mandiri and Bank Nagari raises optimism because the four banks are well known to the public in banking transactions.

Yos also invited all relevant stakeholders to support the non-cash transaction process at BIM.

He also invited all existing business people to join BIM. Starting from advertising, culinary, let alone other promotional activities.

"Come on, let's take advantage of the air transportation service at BIM. For West Sumatra in the future to be better, more advanced and become a dream destination in the world of tourism," he said.
