JAKARTA (The Straits Times/ANN): Indonesia’s resort island of Bali is set to have a second international airport, with the long-delayed project now being revived under the new administration of President Prabowo Subianto.
A senior politician from ruling party Gerindra, Dirgayuza Setiawan, told The Straits Times on Oct 21 that the newly inaugurated president is fully on board with the project. “Pak Prabowo wants this project supported,” he said.
