Ganjar Pranowo Uses A Method Like This So That Purbalingga Airport Ramai

Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo gave advice to five regional heads in Banyumas Raya to carry out as many activities as possible and open potential tourist destinations. This is to attract tourists to come to Banyumas Raya.

Ganjar mengatakan, cara itu dilakukan agar aktivitas penerbangan Jenderal Besar Sudirman bisa terus berjalan dan berdampak ke lima daerah Banyumas Raya, yaitu Purbalingga, Banyumas, Banjarnegara, Wonosobo dan Pemalang.

"Just filling in the activity, creating events if a lot of people come. But if you wait for them to come, make their own activities, they won't work," said Ganjar, Friday, November 25.

Since Thursday, November 10, 2022, the airport, which is located in Purbalingga Regency, has returned to serve commercial flights. After five regional heads in Banyumas Raya agreed to implement block seats or purchase seats for each flight that took place.

The commercial flight at the airport is a round-trip flight from Citilink. This route flight will be served twice a week, every Tuesday and Thursday.

Ganjar hopes that Great General Sudirman Airport will be able to trigger economic growth in Banyumas Raya by easily accessing tourists who want to travel to five areas of Banyumas Raya.

"Then the infrastructure must be connected, but not finished. So the airport struggle first will only be successful now, that's what we hope to trigger economic growth around Banyumas Raya," explained Ganjar.

"That is the government's job to provide incentives and programs to become the stimulant of economic, social, cultural movements from the infrastructure that is built," continued Ganjar.
