Jakarta Governor, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama said, recently many private sides interested to continue that airport construction. Later on, the auction winner will be compensated for being able to get permission to build resort in the island.

"So the concept is, we collaborate with private side. Private side is permitted to build resort in the outskirts of the island," he said in leadership meeting at City Hall, Tuesday (5/2).

"This could also become an evacuation route. We will get many profit because it also improve tourism in Seribu Islands," he closed.
