The YIA review activity was accompanied by Angkasa Pura as the airport manager and representatives of the Directorate General of Customs and Excise at the Ministry of Finance in Yogyakarta, starting from the check-in area, the general passenger waiting room, and the special lounge that will be used by the G20 delegates.
The review is continued to the YIA Airport Train Station to ensure the availability of airport trains as one of the modes of transportation that is quite comfortable and fast to reach the downtown Yogyakarta.
After viewing the facilities at the station including a special waiting room for delegates and confirming the schedule, Sesmenko Susiwijono continued his review by driving the airport train from YIA to Tugu Station to see the feasibility, condition of the train, and availability of baggage.
As a follow-up, the Yogyakarta Airport train will allocate a special carriage for the G20 delegation to provide comfort. A review at Tugu Station, as the end destination of the YIA Airport Train, was carried out with the Head of the Station to see the flow of the movement of the delegation to the pick-up car parking location to the location of the Sherpa meeting.
