That the Bengkulu Provincial Government usually rents X-Ray equipment during the Hajj season.
If accumulated, for two to three rentals the price is the same as the price of this type of dual view x-ray.
"The rental price is quite expensive. Two to three rentals are the same as the price of one x-ray. So, it's better to buy the x-ray," explained Khairil, after a coordination meeting between the Bengkulu Provincial Government and PT Angkasa Pura II Fatmawati Soekarno Airport Branch Office Bengkulu,
Discuss the development of the VIP Terminal at Fatmawati Soekarno Bengkulu Airport in the Rafflesia Room of the Bengkulu Governor's Office, Wednesday 31 January 2024.
So, for the sake of budget efficiency, this year special purchases will be made for cabin and passenger X-Ray.
The allocation that has been prepared by the Provincial Government through the Bengkulu Province Transportation Service (Dishub), is around IDR 1.8 billion.
Besides, the X-Ray equipment owned by the Provincial Government is currently damaged. So, to use X-Ray in the VIP terminal you have to borrow it from the airport.
"We have discussed it and God willing, we will buy it in the near future and it will meet international standards. We will buy a dual view one," he said.
From the results of the meeting, it is targeted that next May the X-Ray equipment will be installed.
And, it has been certified in accordance with the Aviation Safety Council (DKP) regulations. That way, during the 2024 Hajj, you will be able to use this dual view X-Ray.
"Later, for Hajj purposes, it will be installed in the Hajj dormitory.
After that, we will install it in the VIP terminal. So the Bengkulu VIP terminal is complete for international flights," said Khairil.
