ASEAN members regarding air traffic management. The objective of open sky establishment is to liberalize the
whole air traffic. As the country with the highest number airports among all members of ASEAN, Indonesia
needs to reconsider to sign the ratification of the open sky in 2015. Singapore condition as the pioner of the
open sky agreement is contrast to Indonesia, which has 26 international airports. Singapore only has one
international airport . Therefore, the Indonesian government reconsider to temporarily open 5 airports; they
are Soekarno - Hatta Airport in Jakarta, Kuala Namu Airport in Medan, Juanda Airport in Surabaya, Ngurah
Rai Airport in Denpasar, Sultan Hasanuddin Airport in Makassar. The results of open sky agreements in
Indonesia show that economic opportunities in some sectors will go up automatically as trading activity has
increased. The sectors that have increased include insurance, fuel, tourism and commerce sectors. Moreover,
socially this will optimize Indonesian human resources capability as motivated by foreign competitors. The
