Audiensi Komisaris Utama Dan Direksi PT RAI Kepada Menteri PPN/BAPPENAS
Komut dan Jajaran Direksi PT RAI melakukan audiensi kepada Menteri BPN/BAPPENAS
Pada tanggal 25 Januari 2023 Komut dan Jajaran Direksi PT RAI melakukan audiensi kepada Menteri PPN/BAPPENAS, bapak Suharso Monoarfa yang didampingi ibu Amalia A Widyasanti Deputi bidang Ekonomi. Dalam pertemuan itu dibahas tentang status dan rencana selanjutnya pengembangan pesawat terbang regional turboprop R80.
Pengembangan R80 merupakan insiatif swasta yang didukung Pemerintah sejak tahun 2014 dan pada tahun 2022 yang lalu Kementerian PPN/BAPPENAS telah mendeklarasikan Peta Jalan Pengembangan Ekosistem Industri Kedirgantaraan Indonesia 2022 – 2045 (Roadmap Industri Dirgantara) dimana program R80 menjadi salah satu program yang diunggulkan.
Beberapa hal yang dihasilkan dari pertemuan tersebut antara lain:
- Kementerian PPN/BAPPENAS akan melakukan road show ke Kementerian/Lembaga terkait untuk memastikan follow up dari Peta Jalan Pengembangan Ekosistem Industri Kedirgantaraan Indonesia 2022- 2045. Dengan road show ini diharapkan dapat menjaring dan menguatkan dukungan untuk kerjasama riset dan membangun kemitraan strategis baik dengan instansi/perusahaan di dalam negeri maupun internasional.
- Pembentukan Project Management Office (PMO) yang khusus untuk pengembangan R80 sebagaimana direkomendasikan dalam Peta Jalan Pengembangan Ekosistem Industri Kedirgantaraan Indonesia 2022 - 2045, melalui suatu komite di bawah Kementerian Perindustrian.
- R80 termasuk dalam kategori pesawat terbang turboprop berkapasitas <100 penumpang yang menjadi pilar produk dirgantara di dalam Peta Jalan Pengembangan Ekosistem Industri Kedirgantaraan Indonesia 2022 – 2045 dimana potensi pasar R80 termasuk yang prospektif di dalam negeri maupun di luar negeri, namun memiliki kompetisi yang cukup ketat dengan pesaing sekelasnya.
- Kebutuhan RAI untuk membangun kerjasama strategis dengan mitra produksi dapat difasilitasi Pemerintah dalam bentuk endorsement tanpa ikatan.
Dengan beberapa hal di atas yang merupakan komitmen Pemerintah diharapkan dapat memperlancar pengembangan program R80.
