        "content": "<p>Airline association objects to more 'administrators'<\/p>\n<p>The Jakarta Post, Jakarta<\/p>\n<p>The Indonesian National Air Carriers Association (INACA) has<br>\nobjected to the government's plan to assign additional<br>\nadministrators to the country's four international airports,<br>\nsaying this would place an unacceptable financial burden on the<br>\nairports.<\/p>\n<p>\"The existing airport administrators do not fully function as<br>\nsupervisors as they were intended,\" said INACA secretary-general<br>\nTengku Burhanuddin after a hearing with House of Representatives<br>\nCommission V on transportation, telecommunications, public works<br>\nand housing on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The government wants to assign administrators from the<br>\nMinistry of Transportation to Polonia Airport in Medan, North<br>\nSumatra; Juanda International Airport in Surabaya; Ngurah Rai<br>\nInternational Airport in Denpasar; and Hasanuddin International<br>\nAirport in Makassar, South Sulawesi.<\/p>\n<p>Burhanuddin said the administrators already at these airports<br>\nmostly did administrative work such as permit approvals, instead<br>\nof supervising state airport operator PT Angkasa Pura.<\/p>\n<p>INACA fears adding more administrators to the airports would<br>\nlead to overlapping duties, more bureaucracy and greater<br>\ninefficiency.<\/p>\n<p>\"We demand transparency from the government ... because the<br>\ncustomers (airline operators) are often confused when dealing<br>\nwith the bureaucracy, such as who to go to when applying for<br>\npermits,\" Burhanuddin said.<\/p>\n<p>Airline operators agreed, saying they did not see any<br>\ncoordination between the airport administrators and the airport<br>\noperator in managing the airports and providing service.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on these complaints, the public relations manager<br>\nof PT Angkasa Pura II, M. Wasfan, acknowledged there was the<br>\npossibility of overlap in operational work, particularly in the<br>\nissuance of permits such as entrance permits to the airports or<br>\nrestricted zones.<\/p>\n<p>He said PT Angkasa Pura II, which oversees Soekarno-Hatta<br>\nInternational Airport, acted more as a daily technical operator,<br>\nwhile the airport administrators served as coordinators.<\/p>\n<p>However, Soekarno-Hatta airport administrator head A.<br>\nMoersantoso said concerns over the coexistence of the airport<br>\noperator and airport administrators were overblown.<\/p>\n<p>\"We are responsible for the safety of the airport,<br>\nparticularly security issue,\" he said.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from airport security, Moersantoso said the<br>\nadministrators also ensured the security of the aircraft.
