Biak (Antara Papua) - TNI Angkatan Udara  (AU) akan membentuk tiga pangkalan udara (lanud) di wilayah Provinsi Papua Barat, yakni di Sorong, Manokwari, dan Sorong Selatan. 

"Markas Komando Lanud Manuhua Biak, Provinsi Papua, tengah menyiapkan pembentukan tiga pangkalan udara itu," kata Komandan Pangkalan Udara Manuhua Biak Kolonel Penerbang Fajar Adriyanto menjawab Antara seusai perayaan Sumpah Pemuda di Biak, Senin.

Ia mengatakan pembentukan tiga Lanud baru di Provinsi Papua Barat sudah menjadi kebutuhan TNI AU untuk menambah kekuatan dalam rangka mengamankan wilayah udara Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia.

Fajar mengharapkan pembentukan tiga Lanud baru dapat meningkatkan kinerja pelayanan pengamanan wilayah udara di wilayah Provinsi Papua Barat.

"Untuk pengoperasian pembentukan tiga Lanud baru kami telah menyiapkan sarana prasarana kesatuan serta personel TNI AU," ujarnya.

Berdasarkan data Bandara Sorong Domine Eduardo Osok merupakan pintu masuk penerbangan ke Manokwari, ibukota Provinsi Papua Barat serta bandara Teminabuan Kabupaten Sorong Selatan dan Kabupaten Raja Ampat.

Bandara Sorong Domine Ediar Osok memiliki landasan pacu (runway) dengan panjang 2.060 meter dan lebar 45 meter yang bisa didarati pesawat berbadan lebar (wide body) dan pesawat propeller. 

Ke depannya, panjang runway bandara ini akan ditingkatkan menjadi 2.500 meter agar lebih banyak jenis pesawat yang bisa mendarat di bandara itu.

Sedangkan bandara Rendani Manokwari, Papua Barat merupakan bandara di ibukota Porvinsi Papua Barat dengan panjang landasan pacu mencapai 2.000 meter dan lebar 45 meter.

Sementara untuk bandara Teminabuan, Kabupaten Sorong Selatan dengan panjang 800 meter berstatus kelas III saat ini dikelola Kementerian Perhubungan.

Belajar Ulang Dari Indri Lidiawati : Hari Ini Saya Baca Ulang Lebih Dari 100 Artikelnya

Tidak terasa, Hingga waktu istirahat kantor lewat, mata saya masih terpaku pada layar monitor dan jari masih menekan tuts ke tombol "older posts" di blog Juragan Cipir. Sudah lebih dari 100 halaman atau artikel yang dibaca selama itu. Untungnya artikel-artikelnya pendek-pendek, jadi saya bisa membaca banyak selama waktu istirahat yang tidak panjang itu. Memang heran karena blog Juragan Cipir, kepunyaan Mbak Indri Lidiawati sendiri sudah lama sekali tidak diupdate. Rasanya sudah hampir 6 bulan sejak artikel terakhir diterbitkan di blog tersebut. Setelah itu tidak ada lagi tulisan baru yang masuk, baik dari si empunya atau para rekan sesama blogger. Situasinya sudah agak mirip kuburan karena perlahan tapi pasti forumnya pun ikut terimbas dan tidak ada lagi percakapan tentang apapun. Padahal dulu banyak sekali tanya jawab tentang Adsense atau blog. Meskipun demikian, tetap saja saya rutin, setidaknya secara berkala datang berkunjung kesini. Saya paham bahwa tidak akan ada apapun...
