The Indian conglomerate GVK is ready to invest $500m in developing a new, greenfield international airport in Indonesia, making it the country’s first built with private finance.
GVK will create a joint venture with Indonesian state-owned airport operator Angkasa Pura I later this year to develop the airport in the province of Yogyakarta on the island of Java, reports Indonesia Investments.
Karthi Gajendran, president of airport development at GVK, said the new airport would handle 20 million passengers a year and replace the existing Adisucipto International Airport, which is having capacity problems and cannot expand due to surrounding developments. According to Indonesia Investments, GVK is planning to discuss the duration of a concession to run the airport with the Indonesian government.
