Medellín and Antioquia take a major step in projecting the city as a suitable destination for foreign investment and international cooperation. The new expansion of the national and international docks and the internal and external connectivity modules of the José María Córdova Airport, will serve 11 million passengers. It is 50% more compared to figures from previous years.
350 billion pesos have already been invested in the works and the president of Colombia, Juan Manual Santos, announced the acquisition of properties for the second runway of the terminal will begin next year. The airport went from 41,350 square meters to 49,894, with 17 bridges and boarding positions and 18 remote contact positions for aircrafts.
“We want the airport to continue to progress and attracting more passengers; also, we want it to have the necessary infrastructure to get more planes,” said the President, accompanied by the Minister of Transportation, Germán Cardona and the President of the National Agency of Infrastructure (ANI), Dimitri Zaninovich.
ACI Medellín have supported Airplan, the airport’s concessionaire, in the articulation of projects and alliances with local actors for the creation of new international air routes and the strengthening of the aeronautical sector in the city. Recently, the Mexican group ASUR acquired Airplan. It represents an important investment for competitiveness, connectivity and generation of employment.
