Tangerang wants airport parking fees

TANGERANG, West Java (JP): The Tangerang Mayoralty wants 25
percent of the parking fees collected at Soekarno-Hatta
International Airport, the mayoralty spokesman said Thursday.

Nurhayat Satjadipura, the spokesman, said West Java provincial
decree No. 3/1994 on parking stated the local administration was
entitled to 25 percent of parking fee income collected by
individuals or institutions.

He said Tangerang Mayor Djakaria Machmud had sent the Ministry
of Transportation an official request.

"There's nothing wrong with the scheme (giving part of the
parking fees) as the airport is located in the Tangerang
mayoralty," Nurhayat said.

The money would increase the mayoralty's income and support
the mayoralty's development, he said.

The international airport, managed by the state-owned Perum
Angkasa Pura II, opened in 1985. It has not yet given part of its
parking fee income to the local administration as stipulated by
the provincial decree. (27/sur)
