  "account": "Bali’s I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport currently handles 30 flight movements per hour, but the partnership between state air navigation provider AirNav Indonesia and Boeing aims to increase this to 40 movements per hour. AirNav Indonesia CEO Capt. Avirianto Suratno announced this following a Letter of Intent (LoI) signing with Boeing at a hotel in Jakarta on September 15, 2026. The collaboration will also improve safety protocols and operational efficiency at the airport.\n\nThe joint effort will address the lack of parallel taxiways at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport, which can lead to overlapping movements of departing and arriving aircraft. This condition poses a risk during the pushback process. The study will consider the operational profiles of various aircraft types, as wide-body jets require different handling times compared to narrow-body aircraft. Airbus and Boeing have been collaborating on airspace management, technical training, and strategic air traffic planning since 2023.\n\nBoeing Indonesia Managing Director Indra Duivenvoorde stated that the partnership combines Boeing's global expertise in aircraft performance and air traffic management with AirNav Indonesia's operational experience. The project, set to last one year, will first analyze current operational baselines before developing alternative procedural scenarios. These scenarios will apply to both ground movements and airspace operations. AirNav will provide visualization applications to monitor live conditions, while Boeing will supply modeling technology to simulate aircraft traffic flows. The results will be measured against baseline data to evaluate potential gains in flight capacity, time efficiency, fuel savings, and CO2 emissions reduction.\n\nIf successful, this framework could be replicated at other Indonesian airports facing similar infrastructure constraints, particularly those lacking parallel taxiways.",
  "summary": "If successfully implemented in Bali, the concept crafted by AirNav and Boeing could be adapted for other domestic airports lacking parallel taxiways.",
