Lombok International Airport ((インドネシア語:Bandar Udara Internasional Lombok)) is a new airport on the island of Lombok in Indonesia. It is the island's only fully operational airport. The completion of the airport project and necessary complementary infrastructure such as a highway connecting to the city of Mataram delayed inauguration of the new airport several times. At the close of 2010 the facility had still not been issued the required operational certifications and tensions persisted with local landowners. In early January 2011 the project was thought to be suffering from an estimated US$12 million deficit in the funding required for project completion. In August 2011 the operational and technical director of state-owned airport management company PT Angkasa Pura-I, Haryoso Catur Prayitno suggested that the airport will be fully operational on 1 October 2011 after airport simulations which were planned to be conducted on 5–8 September 2011. Such announcements were made several times in the years immediately preceding the airport opening, only for the proposed date to pass with work still incomplete and the facility unable to open. The airport can accommodate widebody high capacity Airbus 330 and Boeing 767 airliners, as well as smaller aircraft such as Boeing 737 and Airbus 319–320 aircraft already serving Lombok.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lombok International Airport to operate soon )〕 The new airport replaced Selaparang Airport ,〔 the island's previous sole operational airport, situated at Ampenan on the West coast of Lombok near the capital of Mataram. The first arriving aircraft was a Garuda Indonesia Boeing 737-800NG marking the commencement of operations on 1 October 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Island in focus: New airport begins service )〕 The airport was officially inaugurated by the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on 20 October 2011. ==History== During the 'Indonesia Infrastructure Summit' in early 2005 airport infrastructure improvement projects including the new Lombok International Airport were presented to an international audience: *Project milestones for the US$138.9 million Lombok project (Phase 1) are: Review of the 1993 Master Plan in 2005; detailed design 2005–2006; investment bidding 2005–2007; construction bidding 2007; implementation 2008–2011; operation from 2011 onwards.〔New Lombok International Airport, The Directorate General of Air Communication, and PT. (Persero) Angkasa Pura 1, Project Summary, Jakarta, 4 January 2005〕 *The expansion of Lombok's existing Selaparang Airport, located near Mataram, the capital city of West Nusa Tenggara province, is restricted by the close proximity of hills. The current state of urban development is major constraint to an expansion. Therefore, the development of the new Lombok Airport will enhance the development of Mataram city. The Indonesian government is actively promoting both Lombok and neighboring Sumbawa as Indonesia's number two tourism destination after Bali. The President of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the Ministry of Cultural and Tourism and the regional Governor have made public statements supporting the development of Lombok as a tourism destination and setting a goal of 1 million visitors annually by the year 2012 for the combined destination of Lombok and Sumbawa. This has seen infrastructure improvements to the island including road upgrades and the construction of a much delayed new International airport in the islands south.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=An invitation from Lombok )〕 The new Lombok International Airport is a cornerstone of this tourism destination development initiated by the Government of Indonesia and regional NTB stakeholders. The construction of this airport was delayed and the opening date re-scheduled several times. Many issues were understood to be contributing to the delays including problems with site security, thefts of construction materials and equipment from the site, issues of land disputation and tensions with some of the local community over compensation and employment on the site. Other issues involved the quality of construction of the main runway and taxiways and problems with the control tower. Delays also occurred in ratifying access for surface transport corridors including right of ways for the main connecting road to the city of Mataram. The surface connections were still under construction in late 2010 and some of the rights or way for the connecting highway to Mataram were still in disputation with the current landowners at the time of opening the airport.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bali News: Delays in Opening of Lombok's New Airport )〕〔http://bali-news-views.blogspot.com/2010/06/vp-orders-new-bali-and-lombok-airports.html | VP Orders new Bali and Lombok Airports to be Operational soon, Indonesian Digest, Weds, 30 June 2010 |Downloaded 28 Aug 2010〕 In September 2010 the NTB Governor, TGH M Zainul Majdi expressed his concerns over the ongoing delays in achieving a 2010 opening and services launch in a letter to the Vice President of Indonesia, the Ministry of BUMN, Ministry of Transportation as to Angkasa Pura I the airport operator. The secretary of commission III NTB Council, Suharto reported in 2010 that the delays to completion of the Lombok International Airport were due to a lack of funding to the order of Rp 76 Billion. Delays in project completion are consequently delaying commissioning testing by Angkasa Pura Company, certification from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation Republic of Indonesia as well as international certification requirements.〔http://www.lombokpost.co.id Lombok Post Sept 2010, In Indonesian Language〕 Aside from the funding shortfalls the issues stated to be constraining completion were the completion of an airport service road, aviation signage, terminal interiors, a terminal expansion from 12,000 to 21,000 sq m, power supplies, drainage and sewage works and the completion of the construction of access roads to and from the airport. Angkasa Pura I were reported to have approved an additional budget of Rp116 billion required for the completion of Lombok international airport in 2011 on 31 December 2010. The project worth Rp.945.8 billion ($111.2 million) is mainly funded by PT Angkasa Pura I.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NTB eager to have Lombok airport up and running )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lombok International Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
