Panama's government has backed down and decided that the airports in Rio Hato, David and Colon, will be administered by Tocumen SA.
Rafael Barcenas, director of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), said that they found a way for three new airports, which will not be profitable in the short term, not to become an administrative burden that hinders securing the funds they need to build the South Terminal at Tocumen airport, which will have an investment of $679.4 million.
Two weekly direct flights from the U.S. to the City of David in Panama could add to the appeal of the Chiriqui province as a tourist destination.
"The Tourism Authority of Panama (ATP) is negotiating with some international operators over their ability to perform two weekly direct flights from the U.S. to the city of David, which is in addition to the promotion of tourist destinations in the province of Chiriqui", reported Prensa.com.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Panama is to hire a consultancy company to establish the implementation scheme for the privatization of airports in Chiriquí, Colón and Rio Hato.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) will be looking for a consulting firm to determine whether the airports Enrique Malek (Chiriqui), Enrique Jimenez (Columbus) and Scarlet Martinez (Rio Hato, Cocle) will be managed by a single concessionaire or privatized separately.
In a reversal of the decision of having them administered by Tocumen SA, the airports of David, Colon and Rio Hato will be granted in concession to private companies.
The Panamanian government now believes that it would not be suitable for Tocumen SA to manage – along with Tocumen International Airport - these airport terminals, which are being remodeled at a cost of $138 million.
