Airfield in Azuero Rehabilitated For Tourism Development
(Panama-Guide) - Mi Diario - The Mayor of the District of Guararé, Luis Carlos Sanchez, requested the appointment of permanent 24 hour staff to monitor the new Augusto Vergara airfield, located in the village of La Enea, in this community. The Mayor said the surveillance is necessary to prevent the airfield from being used for illegal purposes, and that during the night there are no guards, and no lights.
Optimism - Sanchez hopes that with the rehabilitation of this airfield flights will start to come and go to and from this place, with the aim of promoting tourism in the peninsula of Azuero. Recently, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) inaugurated the new airfield after restoration work was completed. This region has the first airfield prepared for the tourist development of the Azuero peninsula. The project also contemplates the rehabilitation of the terminal building, the restructuring and paving of the runway, the installation of a perimeter fence and a new platform (parking area) for aircraft.
