        "summary": "The development of a new international airport in North Bali is progressing, with the project's commissioner briefing President Prabowo Subianto on its status. The airport, designed to accommodate wide-body aircraft, is part of a national plan to distribute economic growth beyond South Bali and will be fully funded by private investment. The government considers the project increasingly urgent due to rising tourist numbers and the limited capacity of the existing Ngurah Rai Airport.",
        "content": "<p>The government is pushing for the immediate realisation of the North\nBali Airport project to support equitable development on the Island of\nthe Gods. This follows a meeting between PT Pembangunan Bali Mandiri\n(Pembari) President Commissioner Baringin Panggabean and President\nPrabowo Subianto in Hambalang, West Java, on Tuesday (14\/7\/2026). The\nmeeting, also attended by Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi,\ndiscussed the plan for the new airport.<\/p>\n<p>President Prabowo reportedly encouraged the project\u2019s swift\nrealisation. The government considers a second international airport in\nBali increasingly urgent due to rising tourist visits and the limited\ncapacity of I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport. The North Bali Airport plan is\nincluded in the 2025-2029 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN)\nthrough Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 12 of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>During the meeting, the President inquired about the airport\u2019s\nreadiness to serve wide-body aircraft such as the Boeing 777 and Airbus\nA380. Baringin explained that the airport, to be built in the\nKubutambahan area of Buleleng, was designed from the outset to\naccommodate such large aircraft. He noted that the design refers to a\nfeasibility study approved by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation\nat the Ministry of Transportation.<\/p>\n<p>Baringin confirmed that the North Bali Airport project will not\nburden the State Budget (APBN) or the Regional Budget (APBD). He stated\nthat the project in Buleleng is funded entirely through private\ninvestment. The new airport is expected to distribute economic activity\nso that it is no longer concentrated solely in South Bali, while also\ncreating jobs and boosting the tourism and service sectors in the\nnorthern, western, and eastern parts of the island.<\/p>",
