There has been discussion to develop Pondok Cabe into a commercial airport since 2008. Indonesian flag carrier Garuda Indonesia even planned to open a base at Pondok Cabe Airport by the end of 2016. However, since Pondok Cabe airport shares the same airspace as Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport, Pondok Cabe cannot be developed further as a commercial airport as initially planned.
