REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Airport terminals for low-cost carriers (LCCs) are targeted to attract inbound flights from new airlines, especially foreign ones. Muhammad Awaluddin, CEO of PT Angkasa Pura II, stated that during a discussion panel in Jakarta, Thursday.

"Yes, this is one of the aims. There are still a lot of operating LCCs that are yet to fly into our airport," said Awaluddin.

PT Angkasa Pura II is a state-owned enterprise that manages airports in several regions of Indonesia. Low-cost foreign carriers that are yet to enter Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Jakarta include Viet Jet, Jeju Air, Malindo Air and Nok Air.

Awaluddin stated the concept of low-cost carrier terminal will be materialized during the revitalization process of Soekarno Hatta Airport's Terminal 1 and 2. The revitalization of the two terminals is scheduled to be completed in 2022.
