Honduras plans to upgrade international airport this year
The planned upgrade of the Ramón Villeda Morales international airport in Honduras is set to start in the third quarter, according to a local media report.
The facilities, inaugurated more than five decades ago, serve the San Pedro Sula area and north of the country.
“The [state of the] airport is pitiful, its capacity is way below the passengers it is receiving” news outlet La Prensa reported Fuad Handal Katimi, regional president of the national industrial association (Andi), as saying.
The airport was built to receive 400,000 passengers annually and it is currently receiving 1.2mn, according to La Prensa.
“We will invest several million dollars in the airport, including electric stairs, new aerial bridges and expansion of runways,” said the executive secretary of the airport services authority (SAN), Ricardo Martínez.
All the upcoming tenders will be published by the recently created SAN, which replaced EHISA.
SAN will launch the construction tenders and oversee the private firms that the government contracted for airport management.
