JAKARTA - Pondok Cabe Airport will serve flights to Cepu, Blora Regency, Central Java.

Along with that, Ngloram Airport, Cepu, is now prepared to resume operations serving flights.

This is because Halim Perdanakusumah Airport is still in the process of being revitalized.

The head of Dewadaru Class III UPBU, Ariadi Widiawan, said that communication and coordination with the airline continues to be carried out, one of which is with the Wings Air airline.

"We lobbied Wings Air to fly to Pondok Cabe," he said, quoted from the Blora Regency Dinkominfo website, Friday, July 15.

Ariadi said that in the near future it is planned that Wings Air will open Ngloram-Pondok Cabe Airport flights.

Wings Air also conducted a trial landing at Pondok Cabe Airport last week.

"Alhamdulillah, last week we carried out a trial landing, and in the near future, we will open a route, one of which is to Ngloram Airport, Cepu, Blora," Ariadi explained.

Ariadi hopes that when Halim Perdanakusumah Airport is reopened, flights at Ngloram Airport will be more crowded with the presence of two airlines.

"God willing, Halim plans to reopen in August, we will have two airlines flying to Blora," he said.

The VOI team has tried to confirm this information to the Lion Air Group as Wings Air's parent. However, as of this writing, no response has been received.
