    Angkasa Pura Retail opens units at Semarang terminal

    Angkasa Pura Retail has opened two shops at the new Semarang Ahmad Yani International Airport (SRG) in Central Java. The retail subsidiary of state-owned PT Angkasa Pura I has this month extended its retail footprint with two convenience shops spanning a total of 212sq m, one located landside in the public area and another airside post-security. A 135sq m airside gift shop is also set to open in due course.

    In addition, Angkasa Pura Retail will open a 105sq m gifting, souvenir and packaged food outlet at Lombok International Airport (LOP) in the coming months.

    Meanwhile, a 235sq m gift and souvenirs concept at Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport is also timed to open in August at the domestic departure area (gate six).

    ‘FLOATING TERMINAL’

    Last week, Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo inaugurated the ‘floating’ passenger terminal at Semarang, which replaces the previous 6,702sq m structure.

    Spanning 56,652sq m, the IDR 2.075tn ($149m) project has the capacity to handle 6.9m passengers annually, up from the previous 800,000 ceiling.

    According to a PWC Indonesia report earlier this year, Angkasa Pura I President Director Faik Fahmi was quoted as saying the ‘floating’ airport term relates to the fact the terminal is built on soft land, parts of which are submersed by water, using poles and pre-fabricated drainage.

    In a wide-ranging conversation during last month’s TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition & Conference in Singapore, Angkasa Pura Retail revealed plans to re-map its existing 200sq m Surabaya Duty Free concession at Juanda International Airport, where it also operates a speciality beauty outlet at T2 (Baci) and other retail and F&B units.

    The re-mapping exercise is expected to take place towards the end of the year and is designed to open up space linked to the passenger gates.

    The firm’s merchandise presence at Surabaya includes wines & spirits, tobacco and fashion and accessories. The company is also taking a fresh look at its retail product mix in line with the the spatial re-configuration, with one focus being the development of Indonesian brand Bhumi Tea.

    For last two years, it has also boasted a presence in downtown Jakarta at the Kuningan City shopping mall, trading under the name ‘Ourflock’, but that has now come to an end.

    “The business was not doing very well and closed in August 2017,” confirmed Widya Wiedagdo, Marketing & Business Development Director, Angkasa Pura Retail.

    When asked if there are future plans to re-open in downtown Jakarta, he said: “Not yet, we must take many considerations as there is a lot of competition and the situation is not good for downtown, but the airport business is ok.”

    When asked for his plans this year, Wiedagdo says the objective is to open chocolate confectionery and fashion accessories stores in travel retail, in addition to dedicating more space towards liquor and spirits at Surabaya Airport.

    Air carrier Garuda Indonesia signed an agreement with state-owned airport operator Angkasa Pura II at the Soekarno-Hatta airport on Thursday (13/10) to support the creation of a commercial cargo area.

    Garuda Indonesia was represented by cargo director Sigit Muhartono, while commercial and business development director Daan Achmad signed on behalf of AP II.

    “In line with Garuda’s target to obtain $269 million of cargo profit share in 2016, the utilization of this facility will significantly support the company’s cargo business,” Sigit said.

    He added he is optimistic in developing the business, particularly as the deal will span 23,000 meters squared.

    Daan shared Sigit’s optimism, saying the cooperation will “give a positive contribution to improving Indonesia’s cargo industry, given that Soekarno-Hatta is one of the largest bases for air cargo business in Indonesia.”

    Currently Garuda Indonesia has 70 Cargo Service Centers (CSC) all over Indonesia. Of all service centers, 46 CSCs are located in airports and 24 are in city centers. Garuda Indonesia Cargo provides shipping from City to Door and City to Port where CSCs serve as Drop and Pick-up Points.

    Garuda hopes to expand its cargo business to remote corners of Indonesia to support the rapid growth of domestic and international cargo shipping.
