A year after the arrival of a company that promised to offer air cargo services from Enrique Jiménez airport, authorities have not yet approved its operating certificate.
Prensa.com reports that "...This wait has cost the company more than $1.2 million between payroll payments and rental of the air terminal (about $4 thousand a month), not counting the cost of leasing the Antonov 26 aircraft.With this aircraft, the company will transport cargo from and to the Colón Free Zone to 20 routes in Colombia, Central America and the Caribbean."
It has been announced that the company Transporte Aéreo de Carga del Caribe will start operations in the hitherto uninhabited Enrique A. Jimenez airport in Colon.
The airport built during the Martinelli administration was initially designed for cargo and tourism, but did not manage to attract service operators in any of these activities. Now the arrival has been announced of a company that will provide cargo transport services at the terminal, which will start operations once the necessary procedures for obtaining aeronautical certifications have been completed.
