ABSTRACT:

Aviation deregulation policy encourages air transport rapid growth in the last decade and also encourages local areas to compete having their own airport. However, this infrastructure provision often pays less attention to the principles of efficiencies (cost and other resources). This condition also occurs to the implementation of Adisutjipto Airport, Yogyakarta and Adisumarmo Airport Surakarta. Although only 60 km apart, both airports are operated independently (under one management of PT. Angkasa Pura I). With its current facilities and activities, Adisutjipto Airport can only serve up to 6 million passengers / year (2025). The development is aimed at optimizing the runway. While for flights using larger aircrafts, the flights are directed toAdisumarmo Airport because it has a long runway that capable to serve wide-body aircrafts.

Theoretically, to maximize the two potentials can be reached by combining the two services in both airports so they can operate as an airport. This research will attempt to make a connecting model of the two airport services, with the focus on the use of shuttle train) as a means to connect the two airports. The justifying of the use of shuttle trains provide an opportunity for the business sectors, especially railway operators and industry as well as the airport management to directly involve in this service. For this purpose, the researchers cooperate with PT. Railink (airport train operator) as a form of involvement of the industrial sector. The results of this study are expected to become inputs for PT. Railink (especially) and operators, the railway industry and the airport management (generally) to be followed up as the initial indication of profitable business opportunities.
