While the other participating countries confirmed that their respective heads of state would bring one aircraft each, both the US and Russia have informed the Indonesian authorities that they will fly two presidential aircraft each to Bali. As many as 15 heads of states have confirmed their attendance, including US President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
It was reported earlier that hundreds of private jets would also be flying to Bali as global CEOs and delegations from 23 countries would attend the APEC CEO Summit.
Angkasa Pura I, the airport management company, has prepared areas in the nearby Juanda International Airport in Surabaya, East Java, and Lombok International Airport, to park these jets.
During the APEC Summit, Ngurah Rai International Airport will operate with scheduled closures to commercial flights to regulate heavy air traffic during the event. The airport will be temporarily closed for several hours on three days — Oct. 6, Oct. 8 and Oct. 9.
On Oct. 6, the airport will be closed for all commercial flights from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
On Oct. 8, the airport will be closed again to commercial flights from 1 p.m. through 8 p.m. While on Oct. 9, the airport will close to commercial flights from 7 a.m. through 2 p.m.
