TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - State-Owned Enterprises or SOE Minister Erick Thohir has officially announced the cancellation of the Terminal 4 project at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Banten. Instead of constructing a new terminal, the government will focus on optimizing and upgrading the existing Terminals 1, 2, and 3.
“We must ensure efficient use of all projects, the benchmarks are clear: not wasteful. Therefore, we decided to cancel Terminal 4,” he said at the Senayan Parliament Complex on Monday, November 4, 2024.
The Terminal 4 project, initiated during President Jokowi's administration in 2019, was estimated to cost Rp14 trillion. However, after careful evaluation, Erick concluded that the project was unnecessary and that upgrading the existing terminals, which require a budget of approximately Rp1 trillion, would suffice to increase passenger capacity.
“Terminals 1, 2, and 3 can be maximized by improving both the lanes and spaces or rooms,” he remarked.
The Minister emphasized the government's commitment to efficient and transparent project management and to avoiding corruption scandals that have plagued SOE projects in the past five years.
Previously, President Jokowi set a target of completing Terminal 4 by 2021 to boost Soekarno-Hatta Airport's passenger capacity to 110 million per year. “We aim to accommodate 110 million passengers annually with the addition of Terminal 4,” he remarked during an inspection of Runway 3 at the airport in June 2019.
