Cerita Menhub Budi Karya Sumadi Mendarat Pertama Kali di Bandara IKN
SEAToday.com, Penajam Paser Utara – Menteri Perhubungan (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi menjajal pengalaman naik pesawat dan mendarat pertama kali di Bandara Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN) Kalimantan Timur, Kamis (12/9).
Budi bersama rombongan naik pesawat jet jenis Cessna Citation Longitude milik Balai Besar Kalibrasi Fasilitas Penerbangan Kementerian Perhubungan. Selain Budi nampak juga Wakil Menteri ATR/BPN Raja Juli Anthony yang turut merasakan sensasi mendarat pertama kali di Bandara IKN.
“Kami melakukan proving flight dengan Cessna Citation Longitude, satu pesawat jet yang sama kualifikasinya dengan Boeing 737. Alhamdulillah, pesawat yang kami tumpangi berhasil mendarat dengan lancar dan selamat di Bandara IKN,” kata Budi dilansir dari Antara.
Menurut Budi pendaratan pesawat di Bandara IKN sangat berkesan. Selain pesawat mendarat dengan mulus juga penumpang bisa melihat pemandangan indah di sekitar Bandara IKN.
“Pemandangan IKN indah, suasana asri dan mengagumkan sesuai dengan konsel awal pembangunan yang mempertahankan unsur kehijauan,” kata dia. Budi menambahkan tahap verifikasi dan kalibrasi Bandara IKN sudah dilakukan sehingga aspek keamanan dan keselamatan penerbangan di Bandara IKN sudah memenuhi standar.
Artinya Bandara IKN bisa digunakan untuk lepas landas dan mendarat pesawat kepresidenan, mengingat Presiden Joko Widodo (Jokowi) mulai berkantor di IKN hingga masa jabatannya berakhir bulan Oktober mendatang.
Terima kasih kepada Bapak Presiden Joko Widodo yang telah memberikan arahan. Kemudian apresiasi dan terima kasih juga kami ucapkan khususnya kepada Kementerian PUPR, Kementerian ATR dan pemerintah daerah yang telah mendukung dan menyukseskan pembangunan bandara IKN, kata Budi.
Bandara IKN memiliki panjang 2.200 meter dan proses pembangunan gedung bandara mencapai lebih dari 90 persen. Akses jalan sudah selesai termasuk penyelesaian fasilitas penunjang untuk penumpang. Rencananya Bandara IKN selesai dibangun pada 31 Desember 2024.
Selama Bandara IKN belum beroperasi, masyarakat dan pejabat yang akan menuju IKN harus naik dan turun pesawat di Bandara Sepinggan, Balikpapan dan melanjutkan jalur darat menuju IKN.
