Panama: Airport Tender for $70 million

The Civil Aviation Authority will put out to tender before the end of June the construction of an airport in the village of Rio Hato.

Thursday, May 19, 2011

Maricella Martinez, an executive at the Aviation Authority said they hope to give the order to proceed between August and September.

According to an article in Padigital.com.pa "Martinez noted that studies conducted by the Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF) showed that this sector is the most viable because there are already structures on it, it has 190 hectares of land, the base layer of a runway built by the U.S. Army is very good, and seeing as it is an area that has already been developed on, the environmental impact study is not so dramatic.
