New control tower and second runway inaugurated at Lima Airport"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Peru inaugurated this Monday the new control tower and the second runway of Lima&#8217;s Jorge Ch\u00e1vez International Airport, as part of the mega project to expand the aerodrome, which requires an investment of more than 2 billion dollars and includes the construction of a new passenger terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The country&#8217;s president, Dina Boluarte, considered that this work &#8220;marks a great milestone for Peru&#8221; and shows that, &#8220;in spite of the difficulties&#8221;, the country &#8220;is moving forward and has not succumbed to the pressures of those who wanted to lead it to the precipice&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new control tower and the second runway will begin operations progressively, as flights and air traffic control &#8220;will be scheduled periodically to ensure an efficient operational transition,&#8221; said the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2023\/03\/india-plans-to-invest-us12-billion-in-72-new-airports.html\">India plans to invest US$12 billion in 72 new airports<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new control tower is 65 meters high and the second runway is 3,480 meters long, although the works also included the construction of 10 kilometers of new taxiways and the installation of approach lights and beaconing systems, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last February, the new passenger terminal was 26% complete and the MTC estimated that the work would be finished in 2025 and will have the capacity to handle 30 million passengers a year, 7 million more than at present, with a built area of 210,000 square meters, reported EFE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boluarte said that the airport will become &#8220;the most important and modern air terminal in South America&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
