Benda

What secrets does Benda hold? Benda, a district of Tangerang City, is home to Indonesia’s main international airport, Soekarno–Hatta. But Benda’s story goes beyond the roar of jet engines. Imagine, if you will, the year 1992. This is when Benda emerged, carved from the northern part of Batuceper district. Now, stand here with me, at the heart of Benda, and let’s peel back the layers of time. Benda isn’t just a name on a map. It’s a vibrant community, a tapestry woven with the lives of nearly 86,000 people. Picture the bustling streets, the local markets overflowing with colorful goods. Benda is a microcosm of Indonesia itself, a place where tradition meets modernity. Did you know that Soekarno–Hatta International Airport, a gateway to Indonesia, lies within Benda? This bustling airport, named after Indonesia’s first president and vice president, serves millions of passengers yearly. It’s a modern marvel, a testament to Indonesia’s growth and connection to the world. But even amidst the hustle and bustle of the airport, the spirit of Benda endures. The five urban communities – Belendung, Jurumudi, Benda town, Pajang, and Jurumudi Baru – each contribute to the rich tapestry of this district. They are the heart and soul of Benda. As we conclude our exploration of Benda, remember this: Benda is more than just an administrative district. It’s a living, breathing community, a place where the past whispers to the present, and where the future takes flight from the runways of Soekarno–Hatta International Airport.
