Analisa Cost Benefit Ratio Pengambilalihan Singapore Flight Information Region sebagai Perwujudan Kedaulatan Nasional

Abstract

Flight Information Region (FIR) is an airspace that provides information and warning services in flight. The FIR area above the Riau Islands is controlled by Singapore, established by ICAO in Dublin, Ireland in 1946. The Riau Islands as part of Singapore's FIR have a strategic position both in terms of commercial and protection. With high tourism traffic around Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia, as well as the presence of Singapore's Changi Airport as one of the busiest airports in the world, the Riau Islands airspace is very prospective for increasing the country's foreign exchange. This study aims to determine the potential income of Indonesia from the takeover of FIR in the Riau Islands region, as well as the necessary investigation infrastructure and cost and benefit analysis. Based on flight data from Google Travel for 26 weeks with four routes, Indonesia has the potential to earn income of IDR 24,875,066,138 for 26 weeks or IDR 49,750,132,276 per year. The non-monetary benefits obtained by Indonesia are gaining international recognition that Singapore's FIR will become Jakarta's FIR over the Riau Islands and Natuna, as well as becoming independent in regulating commercial air traffic.
