Paraguay: construirán terminal contigua al Silvio Pettirossi

El titular de la Dinac, Edgar Alberto Melgarejo, anunció hoy durante una conferencia de prensa en el Palacio de Gobierno que construirán una terminal adjunta al aeropuerto internacional Silvio Pettirossi (Luque).

La obra será financiada con recursos propios de la Dirección Nacional de Aeronáutica Civil (Dinac). La inversión ronda los US$ 40 millones.

Comentó que la terminal actual fue concebida para un flujo aproximado de 800.000 pasajeros/año y, hoy día, eso se ha sobrepasado. Cerca de 1.300.000 personas circulan anualmente, sumando llegada y salida de viajeros, más las personas en tránsito por la terminal aeroportuaria. El proyecto tendrá una extensión de 17.000 a 20.000 metros cuadrados, sin contar con las obras complementarias.

Explicó que ya comenzarán los proyectos ejecutivos para posteriormente llamar a licitación pública y poner en marcha lo antes posible. Además dijo que no afectará la libre circulación en el aeropuerto convencional. Indicó que la idea es incentivar el arribo de rutas tales como Asunción-Miami o Asunción- EE.UU. “Estamos buscando un Paraguay sin escalas”, aseveró. Mencionó que el Plan Maestro contempla la ampliación de los otros aeropuertos.

Respecto al tiempo establecido, afirmó que esperan que estén finalizados los trabajos  en el plazo de tres años”

Argentina: ampliarán el aeropuerto de Bariloche

El Aeropuerto Internacional de Bariloche será ampliado y renovado a partir de finales del 2018, debido a la necesidad de contar con una terminal acorde a las necesidades actuales y brindar un mejor servicio al creciente número de pasajeros que transitan por el aeródromo.

La transformación del aeropuerto implica la expansión de las plataformas comerciales, sumando nuevas posiciones y mangas (pasarelas que conectan la terminal aérea con el avión), para que más aviones operen al mismo tiempo; la ampliación de la terminal de pasajeros, con nuevos mostradores de check-in, nuevas puertas de embarque y nuevas cintas de equipaje; la ampliación del estacionamiento; y un nuevo acceso vehicular que ordene la circulación en el ingreso al aeródromo.

Para llevar a cabo el proyecto se invertirá la suma de 2.000 millones de pesos (US$ 67 millones), el cual constará de dos etapas para triplicar la capacidad de recepción tanto en vuelos internacionales como domésticos: la primera, con la incorporación de una nueva manga que estará lista antes de la temporada invernal del 2019; y la segunda, que completará el resto de la nueva infraestructura para el 2020.

La terminal aérea pasará de tener 9.000 metros cuadrados a 16.000 y en lugar de dos mangas contará con seis al finalizar las obras. Mientras que en el estacionamiento, la capacidad aumentará de 350 a 1.200 lugares.

Una vez terminados los trabajos se habrá incrementado un 54% la capacidad y podrá recibir dos millones de pasajeros anualmente.
