The Government's plans for a railway between Jakarta's main airport and the capital are emerging, including two connecting routes. The first route will connect Manggarai and Tangerang in the west before proceeding north to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, with construction of the line expected to start this year. The other route will stretch from Manggarai to Pluit in the north before going west to the airport, creating a circular railway. The Government has appointed state railway operator Kereta Api Indonesia and state airport operator Angkasa Pura II to work on the first route. The two state firms have formed a joint venture, called Railink Indonesia, for the project. Railink has previously performed a feasibility study for the Manggarai route, which led the Government to grant the project to the state companies.
