The Condition of One of Aceh's Pride Airport (Corona Virus Effect)

Aceh Province is one of the provinces in Indonesia designated as an area that is in a safe zone during the corona virus. This success cannot be separated from the efforts of hard work from all parties. Both the central and regional governments. One of these successes is the field of transportation, both land, sea and air

One of the most successful transportation sectors is the closure of several airports in several city districts. The closure of some of these airports is based on government regulations that forbid every citizen from traveling, both individuals and groups, to break the chain of transmission of the Corona

Malikussaleh airport

The airport, which is approximately 30 kilometers from Lhokseumawe City, began construction in 1973 by PT Arun Natural Gas Liquefaction (NGL), known as PT Arun, which is a subsidiary of PT Pertamina.

The airport was originally designed as a special airport that functioned as a means of transportation for company employees to smooth the development and management of the Arun Refinery that produces liquid natural gas.

Since the enactment of the ban, the airport of pride of the people of Aceh has become abandoned and neglected. Even some local workers had to be rested

Some of the sides along the guardrail look chaotic and filled with weeds. Even along the runway route almost filled with grass

Only a few families are seen accompanying their children to play on the side of the guardrail during the afternoon and evening

Even more ironic, in one of the gates is a padlock filled with rust. Even though this airport is the only pride for the people of Aceh

So far there are no signs that the airport will operate again. All people certainly hope that logging at this airport will reopen. Moreover, many of them have families outside the area. And only through this airport is the only way they can go home
