The development of transportation infrastructure is one of the main focuses in economic development in Indonesia, the West Java International Airport is one of them. According to the initial development goals, West Java International Airport was designated for the movement of goods. Over time, the COVID-19 pandemic occurred and at that moment the air cargo business showed good performance because it was resilient and quickly recovered from the impact of COVID-19. That moment was used by the government to encourage West Java International Airport to become a logistics hub, considering the wide market potential and the quality of services it has. West Java International Airport as a prospective logistics hub is supported by a hinterland of logistics services, namely industrial and agricultural areas. As a prospective logistics hub, West Java International Airport's logistics service facilities should be available and have been utilized, but current conditions do not reflect this. Airport services that are not utilized optimally are an important issue to be addressed immediately because they cause financial losses from the large airport operational costs and other additional costs that must be incurred by the airport in a fixed amount. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the potential utilization of West Java International Airport logistics services by industrial areas around the airport. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach. Primary data was obtained through stakeholder interviews and observation, and secondary data was used to analyze. The first objective is related to industrial characteristics around the airport, it is known that there are two industrial areas, namely Kertajati Aerocity which is intended for the aviation, military defense, creative, pharmaceutical, electronics, warehousing industry, then there is Kertajati Industrial Estate Majalengka (KIEM) which is intended for the textile, technology, automotive, chemical and food industry. In the second objective, logistical needs and challenges are analyzed, from the supply side are land access to the airport, specifically the Cisumdawu toll road and railroads, supporting logistics infrastructures such as cargo village, finance, and land ownership. The challenges and needs from the demand side for logistics services are related to the development of the area around the airport, the initiatives of logistics entrepreneurs, regulations related to airport functions. In this study it was found that the industrial area has the potential to use the logistics services of the Westiv Java International Airport. KIEM uses logistics services for the distribution of industrial products in industrial areas, while the demand for logistics services at Kertajati Aerocity comes from various activities at the Aerospace Park and Creative Technology Center. Kertajati Aerocity also supports the supply of logistics services at the Logistics Hub. Along with the development of industrial estates around the airport, the government believes that agricultural potential can be facilitated in industrial areas through several scenarios, namely direct support, indirect support, and facilities in other areas. This study also found that West Java International Airport has the potential to become a logistics hub. At the end of the study, recommendations were given so that the utilization of West Java International Airport logistics services was more optimal and the realization of the airport as a logistics hub could be implemented.
