Bandara Dijual Cuma Seharga Rp 20 Ribu

Bandara ini dibangun dengan dana mencapai 1 miliar euro.

     Punya mimpi mempunyai Bandar Udara (Bandara)sendiri? Mungkin inilah kesempatan Anda. Sebuah Bandara di Spanyol siap dijual dengan harga hanya 1 Pound Sterling atau sekitar Rp 20 ribu.

     Mengutip laman metro.co.uk, Pengelola Bandara Ciudad diketahui siap menjual terminal angkutan udara ini dengan harga sangat murah.

Padahal ketika dibangun pada 2009, Bandara Ciudad telah menelan biaya pembangunan hingga 1 miliar Euro. Spanyol kala itu tengah dilanda krisis keuangan cukup berat.

Bandara Ciudad terpaksa ditutup tiga tahun kemudian setelah perusahaan induknya menghadapi masalah keuangan.

     Hakim pengadilan setempat pernah memerintahkan pengelola Bandara untuk menjual asetnya tersebut. Kala itu harga penawaran yang diminta sebesar 100 juta Euro.

Namun, Bandara tersebut ternyata tak laku di pasaran. Sampai akhirnya, hakim tak lagi menetapkan batas minimal penjualan Bandara Ciudad.

     Meski dijual dengan harga sangat murah, pengelola baru nantinya harus langsung menghadpai masalah pelik. Bandara ini ternyata memiliki tumpukan utang hingga ratusan juta pound setelring.

Di awal pembangunannya, Bandara Ciudad sebetulnya disiapkan untuk mengantisipasi booming ekonomi Spanyol. Bandara ini dirancang untuk melayani kota dan kawasan pantai dengan kereta kecepatan tinggi.

     Bandara Ciudad diproyeksikan untuk menerima limpahan penumpang dari Bandara Barajas Madrid yang terletak 150 milir ke arah utara.

Maskapai terakhir yang beroperasi di Bandara ini tercatat pada tahun 2011. Setelah sebuah maskapai penerbangan pribadi juga berhenti menggunakan Bandara ini, seluruh aktivitas di Ciudad akhirnya berhenti otal.

Kini lahan seluas 28 ribu kaki persegi ini kosong melompong.

Indonesian parties propose bill to ban alcohol; five-star hotels, Bali would be exempted

 

Two Islamic parties in Indonesia have proposed legislation that would ban all consumption of alcoholic drinks and bring jail terms of up to two years for offenders.

It was not immediately clear how much support there would be for the bill put to parliament, although previous moves to crack down on alcohol consumption have been seen as posturing to appeal to voters before the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
"Under the bill, consuming alcoholic beverages could land a person in jail as it will be treated similarly to drug trafficking," the Jakarta Post quoted Muhammad Arwani Thomafi, a member of one of the two parties, as saying.
The bill seeks to ban the sale, production, distribution and consumption of all beverages containing more than 1 per cent of alcohol, according to the national newspaper.
The parties behind the bill and government officials were not immediately available to comment on the report.

Beer sales in Indonesia growing steadily

Indonesia, which has a population of around 250 million, has seen fast-growing sales of alcoholic drinks such as the Bintang beer brand brewed by PT Multi Bintang Indonesia Tbk, which is majority owned by Heineken.
Other alcoholic drinks makers with a footprint in Indonesia include Diageo and Carlsberg.
Indonesia is the tenth-largest beer consumer in Asia and has the most Guinness stout drinkers in the region. Beer sales have climbed 54 per cent over the past decade.
"Of course I don't agree with it, why would you prohibit someone's hobby to drink? So after banning drinks, what else would they ban? Smoking?" said Diponagara, a 28-year-old worker at a non-government organisation in Jakarta.
However, a survey by market researcher Nielsen found that, in 2014, only 2.2 per cent of Indonesians over the age of 20 had consumed alcohol in the previous 12 months.
Alcohol consumption is frowned upon by many Muslims in Indonesia and, during Ramadan in particular, bars are sometimes attacked by vigilante groups.
A regulation banning the sale of alcoholic drinks at mini-markets will come into force on Thursday, although they will still be sold at supermarkets, hotels, bars and restaurants.
The Jakarta Post said the proposed legislation banning all consumption would exempt some locations to protect tourism, including five-star hotels and the resort island of Bali.
