It is extremely important to perform the only UIO track. Nevertheless, It is still said that a second track is not yet necessary to build it. The one that is planned in the future is just 2.300 M when in tababela being a high airport & Hot needs another minimum 3500 m for category C aircraft, D, E y F. Increase traffic, More passenger and load airlines is an objective that must continue to be primary such as safety and user satisfaction.
Hi Carlos, I agree with you, But investments of that magnitude, It requires justification, which is to have a growing and permanent growth of air traffic, situation that today does not occur in all parameters and the current track is even more than comforting in its operation.
Nicolás totally agree and hopefully the country's conditions improve so that there is more tourism, more capital injection and sustainable, regulate air traffic to justify such projects. Thanks and regards
A pleasure Carlos.
