Why dont they just upgrade and renovate the airport in sorong?

Anyway theres a ton of money going into RA from the diving. Its got to warrant better facilities from what I hear.

Makassar's airport is very new and nice, and Manado Airport clean and pleasant with good amenities. Even when we went via Bima in Sumbawa the airport wasnt flash but adequate enough. Yet everything I hear about Sorong is Not.

@Gee13 - think that is definitely a better idea to upgrade the existing facilities at Sorong...

I wish Manado Airport was as nice as Makassar, it is getting better and it is quick and easy for people to deal! (I work in the area so I am there quite a lot!)
