According to Indonesia’s Antara News Agency, the airports are planned to be built in the districts of Majalengka, Tasikmalaya, and Sukabumi. Of those, the Kertajati International Airport in Majalengka is expected to be completed and become operational by mid-2018.
The
Kertajati airport is the largest in West Java and is very useful to boost the
transport of goods and people and to drive the provincial economy, the
Indonesian President noted.
Apart
from the Kertajati airport, the one in Tasikmalaya will be utilized more
effectively, he explained.

third airport will be developed in Sukabumi, but the Indonesian President has
chosen to keep its location a secret to avoid negative impacts on land
acquiring and site clearance.-VNA
