JAKARTA - PT PP (Persero) Tbk (PTPP), a national construction company under the auspices of Danantara Indonesia, continues to show its strategic work in the development of national transportation infrastructure through the Soekarno International Airport 1C Revitalization project.
The Rp1.3 trillion (including VAT) project has now entered its final stages and is starting to operate in stages, marking a major increase in the quality of the largest airport service in Indonesia.
The revitalization of Terminal 1, which was carried out from February 18, 2019 to April 30, 2025, is an important part of the government's efforts to create modern airports that are more efficient, sustainable, and have the characteristics of Indonesian culture, in line with the agenda of Asta Cita Pemerintah, in particular strengthening connectivity infrastructure and development rooted in national identity and creativity.
Terminal 1C now has a service area of 68,168 m2 from the previous 48,212 m2, with an increase in capacity from 3 million to 8 million passengers per year. Overall, the revitalization of Terminal 1 increases airport capacity from 9 million to 24 million passengers per year.
The momentum for completing the revitalization of Terminal 1C is also present in a very strategic period, namely ahead of the Christmas and New Year holidays, when community mobility reaches its peak.
With a wider space, more modern facilities, as well as increased service quality, Terminal 1C is now able to provide a more comfortable, secure, and smooth travel experience for all passengers. The presence of a new terminal in the Nataru period is expected to help unravel the density of passenger currents while strengthening the image of Indonesian air services in the eyes of the public.
As a form of appreciation for the success of the revitalization, Muhammad Rizal Pahlevi, CEO of InJourney Airports, assessed that PTPP's work succeeded in answering the needs of modern airport services. He said that Team PP is great! for the achievement that allows the operational acceleration of Terminal 1C to meet the target. A similar view was conveyed by Faik Fahmi, President Director of PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia (previously), who appreciated the professionalism and timeliness of the work.
"Thank you to PT PP for helping to accelerate the operation of T1C properly and on time. PP = Pasti Paten," he said.
PTPP's Corporate Secretary, Joko Raharjo, explained that the revitalization of Terminal 1C brings a major update to the experience of passengers and airport operations.
"PTPP made a thorough update through building beautification, interior modernization, and reactivation of the main utilities and equipment system. Terminal 1C now appears wider, modern, efficient, and ready to serve the surge in national air transportation needs," said Joko, in a written statement, Wednesday, November 19.
One of the important icons in this revitalization is the installation of a synthetic batik-motivated rattan ceiling in the commercial terminal area. This material is not only an aesthetic and environmentally friendly, but also reflects the combination of Indonesian cultural values with the modern design of international airports.
More than 200 MSME craftsmen from Tangerang, Serang, and Cirebon play a role in manually assembling 1,785 ceiling modules in less than 25 days reflecting the skills, accuracy, and dedication of local craftsmen. Truntum, Kawung, and Samar motifs were chosen to present heritage characters in the airport public space.
This innovation is not onlyautified by the terminal, but also has a real economic impact: create jobs, increase the capacity of national rotant MSMEs, and strengthen the supply chain of the creative industry.
Revitalization Terminal 1C has a high level of challenges. The work is carried out on buildings that have been built for more than 40 years, so the modernization process must maintain the heritage character while presenting facilities that meet current airport standards.
In addition, construction work goes hand in hand with terminal operations, demanding intensive coordination so that passenger activities, comfort, and safety are maintained.
