Mataram airport gets floodlit

MATARAM, West Nusa Tenggara: The Selaparang airport, which is
the gateway to Lombok Island, can now accommodate night flight
services following the installation of a lighting system.

West Nusa Tenggara Governor Warsito urged the authorities in
Mataram to inform all airliners about the new facility and
therefore bring more tourists to the island.

The airport is now equipped with a fuel depot, thus allowing
planes to refuel here.

Lombok, located next to Bali, has been touted as an up and
coming tourist destination, offering a less crammed alternative
to its more celebrated neighbor. (emb)
