Angkasa Pura launches air freight service to connect islands

State-owned operator Angkasa Pura I, through its logistics subsidiary Angkasa Pura Logistics (APL), has launched an air freight service amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted the cargo business for commercial airlines.


For its operation, the company will provide air freight services to nine cities across Indonesia, including Banjarmasin in South Kalimantan, Denpasar in Bali, Makassar in South Sulawesi, Ambon in Maluku and Batam in Riau Islands. It will also serve an international freight service to neighboring Singapore.

Air transportation in Indonesia is critical to connecting thousands of islands throughout the archipelago. Many commercial airlines, which have been severely hit by the pandemic, utilize the belly of their aircraft to transport cargo during passenger flights.

Danny said that APL would focus on the delivery of marine and perishable goods, which required quick shipping times to ensure freshness.
