It will also contribute to reduced fuel consumption and more efficient allocation of resources on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raffoul Arab explained that the contractor Odebrecht (now called CNO) did not complete the work, so the airport company had to invest one million dollars in technical adjustments and completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2024\/01\/panama-tocumen-airport-records-record-passenger-traffic-in-2023.html\">Panama: Tocumen Airport records record passenger traffic in 2023<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;After thoroughly completing a series of air safety-related requirements, inspections and audits, the Civil Aeronautical Authority authorized Tocumen International Airport to use a street that we required to expand capacity and make our operations more efficient,&#8221; Arab added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The integration of the Lima Taxiway connects the north and south sections of the Main Apron of Terminal 1. The connection will allow aircraft to proceed to the Runway 03R\/21L thresholds without the need to access additional aprons, ensuring a safer and more agile movement to and from the runways. In addition, a rapid exit lane has been provided to ensure efficient, safe and fast movement of aircraft once they land, heading towards the landing bridges in Terminals 1 or 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
