Jakarta –The
Minister of Transportation is aiming to integrate security systems in all
Indonesian airports by 2025. “We have not yet discussed the investment for such
integrated system. The study will be implemented by the end of the year. We
will review the facility aspects, human resources and the procedures to be
prepared and to enable this, we need to have supporting regulations and the
funding,†said the Director of Flight Safety of the Ministry of Transportation YusfandriGona in a seminar with the
theme “Modernizing Policy on Global ICAO and Technology-based Safety Flight
Program†in Grha Angkasa Pura I,
Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, on Thursday (8/5).
As incorporated in the master plan of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation
under the Ministry of Transportation, the integration security system for
airports will be implemented in stages. This breakthrough will soon be applied,
first in international airports by 2019. Then in the following six years,
by2025, all Indonesian airports will apply the standard security system. There
are at least six requirements for the airport security system to be integrated,
namely: strengthening the organizations, regulation frameworks, human resources
capacities, promotion and publication of national security system, as well as integrated
aviation security system with ICT and revitalization of airport
infrastructure.
So far, there are five airports that have been selected as pilot projects,
which are: Soekarno-Hatta (Cengkareng),
Juanda (Surabaya), Kualanamu (Medan),
I Gusti Ngurah Rai (Bali) and Hasanudin (Makassar). “We will
synchronize the master plan later. There are in fact five airports listed in
our master plan,†he explained. [Diani Sekaring Sejati/Merdeka.com]
