KUPANG, East Nusa Tenggara: The regency of Ngada plans to
build an airport in Marapokot next year when its capital is moved
from Bajawa to Mbay.

Spokesman for the Ngada government Thimtius Mesakh Hermanus
said Saturday that Minister of Transportation Haryanto Danutirto
had endorsed the plan.

Haryanto, Thimtius said, stated that the project could be
completed by 1999, Antara reported.

Thimtius said the planned airport will be able to be used by
Fokker and Indonesian-built CN-235 aircraft. Ngada now has an
airport in Soa, about 20 kilometers east of Bajawa, which can be
used by small planes like the Twin Otter.(pan)
