Hello there
I think the name “Megaairport” is an exaggeration..
It is certainly necessary for the city of Guayaquil. Although it is true that the trigger for the start of construction is the number of passengers passing through it, An important point is that the airport is limited by the length of the runway..
Type units 767, 777, 330 of passengers and cargo limit their capacity due to this fact
JIMMY
Thanks for your input.
You're right, I agree to 100%
It seems a little exaggerated 3 tracks, it's not that bad, now what will happen, I think, is that Quito is going to go to the background, it is a juicy proposal for new airlines to be able to operate in such a high-class terminal as Daular is going to be, we in Quito remain humbly with the 3 new sleeves haha
Remember that Quito has a great capacity for expansion, activated on demand, That is why the extension that was being built was postponed until further notice.. Last point, an airport does not necessarily bring more airlines, but instead yes an attractive market.
How would it be an improvement for Quito
I don't understand you Camilo.
It is a great historic decision for Guayaquil on behalf of Ecuadorian aviation to continue the Guayaquil-Daular International Mega Airport project., although in itself it will take a long time to materialize and start its construction, despite the fact that we are experiencing the strongest global crisis due to COVID-19, this will mark a before and after of our beloved aviation in Ecuador. Greetings!
Completely, it's a great project, on the aviation side and for the sources of work generated by this investment.
