- MOU will allow the Bali International Airshow organisers to grow the event into a global spectacle, as Indonesia propels itself into the aviation sector
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been signed between Indonesian state-owned enterprise PT Angkasa Pura I I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport – Bali and PT Inaro Tujuh Belas for the use of Ngurah Rai International Airport facilities for Bali International Airshow. This MOU and partnership will allow Bali International Airshow organisers, PT Inaro Tujuh Belas, to utilise the hangar and south apron of Ngurah Rai Bali International Airport as the official venue for Bali International Airshow 2024.
With the potential and necessity for air transport in Indonesia as an archipelago, Bali International Airshow is expected to utilise this opportunity to continuously grow until the foreseeable future. This will render Bali International Airshow the ability to develop into a must-attend event in the global airshow calendar.
The partnership between both parties was signed off between Mr. Handy Heryudhitiawan, the General Manager of I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport and Mr. Andy Wismarsyah, the President Director of PT Inaro Tujuh Belas on 28 November at the General Aviation Terminal (GAT) South Apron of I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport. The MOU signing ceremony was witnessed by Mr Jodi Mahardi, the Deputy of Maritime and Energy Sovereignty Coordination, Coordinating Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Investment of the Republic of Indonesia. Also in attendance were Mr Renaud Hamaide (Chairman and CEO of Comexposium), Ms Elaine Chia (CEO Asia Pacific Comexposium), Danny Budiharto (Chairman of Amara Group) and Seno Damono (COO of PT Inaro Tujuh Belas).
“As we edge closer to the 2024 Bali International Airshow to be held in September 2024, this important milestone highlights a big step in the preparations for the event. This MOU also highlights great support for the airshow by various government bodies, including PT Angkasa Pura I,” said Mr. Wismarsyah.
The Bali International Airshow 2024 is a collaborative endeavour involving the whole of Indonesia government, comprised of Indonesian Ministries and government agencies which include the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime and Investment Affairs, the Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, Ministry of Transportation, Ministry of State-Owned Enterprise, Indonesian Air Forces, and PT Angkasa Pura I.
“The MOU between PT Angkasa Pura I and PT Inaro Tujuh Belas becomes a momentum to ensure the readiness of the preparations for Bali International Airshow next year. We, as the airport manager, will ensure this event can happen smoothly alongside ongoing flight operations. This will also be a great opportunity to introduce Indonesia at the global stage to participants who will be attending the airshow as delegates and visitors, and we are proud to be a part of it,” added Mr. Heryudhitiawan.
The Bali International Airshow is Southeast Asia’s premier exposition for aerospace, aero technology, and defence, dedicated to propelling Indonesia to the forefront of the regional aerospace industry.
