Engineering, Program & project management

The Antonio Nariño Airport Runway is built on a plateau that rises 50 metres above the surrounding terrain. In addition, the runway is relatively short for the altitude at which the airport is located, it has a length of 2,130 m. The orientation of the track is such that it is frequently disabled by strong crosswinds that prevent takeoff and landing from being carried out safely.

Cost: 7 947 196,03 €

GOALS

What sets it apart from the other European airports is the connection of the taxiway with a housing estate, meaning that the aircrafts can be parked directly in their owner’s hangar.
