JAKARTA - The Governor of Central Java (Central Java) Ganjar Pranowo is committed to knitting the economy through the development of six commercial and pioneering airports in Central Java.

Public Policy Observer Yogi Suprayogi considers the plan to be positive.

"I actually see that the airport construction is good for Central Java," said Yogi, Wednesday, October 26.

However, Yogi suggested that the ranks of the Central Java Provincial Government must have a feasibility study for all airports in Central Java. He is worried that the plan will not be immediately useful considering the current condition is still shrouded in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Furthermore, Yogi said that airport development plays a very important role in building connectivity between regions. However, he again reminded that there needs to be consideration for developing airports.

"Indeed, there is a theory that states that an area can develop, but it still needs to be seen developments in other places," he said.

Lebih dari itu, dia juga melihat pembangunan infrastruktur di era Ganjar menunjukkan hal yang positif, misalnya kawasan industri di Batang.

It is known that Ganjar was declared a regional head who was highly committed in encouraging the development of airports in Indonesia. Ganjar's commitment to airports received appreciation from Airport Magazine at the 2018 Airport Awards.

There are six airports developed by Ganjar in Central Java, namely Adi Soemarmo Airport in Boyolali Regency, Dewandaru Airport on Karimunjawa Island, Jepara, and General Besar Sudirman Airport in Purbalingga.

Then General Ahmad Yani International Airport in Semarang City, Ngloram Airport in Cepu Blora Regency, and Tunggul Airport location in Cilacap Regency.
