PT ANGKASA Pura Indonesia, also known as InJourney Airports, will continue developing four airports by 2026, including Minangkabau Airport in Padang, West Sumatra, as part of the transformation of airport infrastructure and facilities to improve service quality and the experience for airline passengers.
“This year, we are continuing the development program at four airports as part of the premises transformation,” said InJourney Airports President Director Mohammad R. Pahlevi when confirmed in Padang, West Sumatra, on Thursday (06/18), 2026.
He revealed that the development program is being implemented at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport in Bali, Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Tangerang, Minangkabau Airport in Padang, and Depati Amir Airport in Pangkalpinang.
Pahlevi explained that the essence of transformation is to continuously move forward and change for the better through various continuous improvements made to raise service standards for airport visitors and airline passengers.
According to him, airport development is part of the transformation of the premises (airport infrastructure and physical facilities), which is focused on providing customer-experience-oriented infrastructure and facilities within the airport environment.
He stated that the development of Indonesia’s two busiest airports, Soekarno-Hatta Airport and I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport, can create the best service standards that other airports can implement.
“Services at these two airports can set the standard for other airports. The developments are aimed at improving service and comfort, as well as meeting global standards, thus improving both airports’ positions on the list of the 100 best airports in the world,” Pahlevi explained.
Meanwhile, at Minangkabau Airport in Padang, developments include terminal development. The new terminal, covering an area of approximately 47,000 square meters, can accommodate 5.7 million passengers annually, significantly increasing the previous 2.7 million passengers.
Expansions at the new terminal include domestic and international arrivals areas, domestic and international boarding lounges, commercial areas, and terminal landscaping.
