New airport to cater to more travellers in Yogyakarta

The government expects a new international airport in Yogyakarta, once completed, will improve the satisfaction of travelers flying to and from the region, a popular destination for both domestic and international tourists.

The new airport, which is being built in Kulon Progo regency, is expected to accommodate 50 million passengers annually. It will replace Adisutjipto International Airport, which currently serves a number of travellers far beyond its designated capacity.

“The previous airport’s capacity can no longer contain the passenger traffic and the aircraft movement. There is also a limit to the area expansion [for the airport],” Budi said on Friday during a ceremony to break ground on the new airport, which was also attended by President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo.

Budi mentioned that last year alone, passenger traffic at Adisutjipto reached 7.2 million people, while the airport’s terminals were only built to handle 2.1 million passengers. The apron could also only cater to nine aircraft.

In the first phase, state-owned airport operator Angkasa Pura I will build a 3,250 meter x 60 meter runway in the location. In the second phase, the length of the runway will be extended by 350 meters.

The construction of the first phase is targeted to be finished by March 2019.“The new airport will also serve long-haul flights, with the furthest to Jeddah,” Budi said.

Land procurement for the airport, meanwhile, has reached 91 percent, the ministry reported. (hwa)

 An Alliance Could Answer The Growing Threat from Google and Facebook

By Evelyn M.RuIsi and Nick Bilton


Apple, which has stumbled in its efforts to get into social media, has talked with Twitter in recent months about making a strategic investment in it, according to people briefed on the matter.

Although apple has been hugely successful in selling phones and tablets, it has little traction in social networking, which has become a major engine of activity on the Web and on mobile devices. Social media are increasingly influencing the ways people spend their time and money — important consideration for Apple, which also sells application, games, music and movies.

Apple has considered an investment in the hundreds of millions of dollars, one that could value Twitter at more than $10 billion, up from an $8.4 billion valuation last year, these people said. They declined to be identified because the discussions were private.

There is no guarantee that the two companies, which are not in negotiations at the moment, will come to an agreement. But the earlier talks are a sign that they may form a stronger partnership amid intensifying competition from companies like Google and Facebook.

Apple has not made many friends in social media. Its relationship with Facebook, for example, has been strained since a deal to build Facebook featured into Ping, Apple's music-centric social network, fell apart. Facebook is also aligned with Microsoft, which owns a small stake in it. And Google, an Apple rival in the phone market, has been pushing its own social network, Google Plus.

 

3939.  What is the news about?

A.    A. Social networking.

B.     B. Apple's new products.

C.     C. Twitter strategic investment.

D.    D. Twitters success in social media.

E.     E. Apple's plan to cooperate with Twitter.


4140.   "But the earlier talks are sign that they may form a stronger partnership".
The underlined word means ....

A.    A. Collusion

B.     B. Competition

C.     C. Agreement

D.    D. Negotiation

E.     E. Collaboration
