There has been discussion to develop Pondok Cabe into a commercial airport since 2008.[1] Indonesian flag carrier Garuda Indonesia even planned to open a base at Pondok Cabe Airport by the end of 2016.[2] However, since Pondok Cabe airport shares the same airspace as Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport, Pondok Cabe cannot be developed further as a commercial airport as initially planned.[3]
