This agreement marks the transformation of the airport into an eco-friendly model, with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ) from Germany overseeing the project.
The signing of the agreement, attended by officials from PT Pelita Air Service, EBTKE directorate general, and PT Pertamina, underscores the collective aim of reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change.

Dendy Kurniawan, CEO of PT Pelita Air Service, emphasized the company’s commitment to a sustainable aviation industry aligned with Pertamina’s Net Zero Emission target by 2060.
Pertamina Senior Vice President for Corporate Finance, Bagus Agung Rahadiansyah, expressed optimism that Pondok Cabe could serve as a blueprint for similar projects across Indonesian airports.
