El Salvador To Certify Ilopango Airport

The process is expected to cost more than the $8 million required to certify AIES airport.

Tuesday, January 5, 2010

On December 2009, AIES international airport was certified as compliant with international security standards. This enticed CEPA, the airport administration authority, to start the certification process for another international airport: Ilopango.

"Based on the experience of certifying AIES, CEPA and AAC (Air Travel Authority) agree that certifying Ilopango will require more money and time", reported Laprensagrafica.com. "Certifying AIES under international standards required 5 years and $8 million".
