Report Against ‘New Yogyakarta International Airport’ in Kulon Progo (Indonesia)

Report Against ‘New Yogyakarta International Airport’ in Kulon Progo (Indonesia) Wednesday, August 23rd, 2017 Since 8 August last week, particularly in Macanan Glagah area, heavy machinery have been operating within the conflicted farming area (the same area where some peasants have already sold their land, compromising with the project, although their relocation is still unsure) for the development of New Yogyakarta International Airport (NYIA). Despite community and peasant resistance against NYIA, the government and PT Angkasapura are cooperating with a large company from India as the airport major investor: GVK corporation. We urge comrades in India to communicate with us and build international solidarity..
