The executive director of the Airport Department, Víctor Pichardo, led a tour of the land where the Pedernales International Airport will be built, in the Los Tres Charcos area, municipality of Oviedo.
The commission was also made up of the Dominican Civil Aviation Institute (IDAC), represented by Claudia Roa, director of Air Navigation, and Hender Castro, director of Operational Safety Surveillance, as well as technicians from the Airport Department. With this technical inspection, the conditions of the location of the land where the terminal will be built will be verified.
“All the agencies that affect the construction and certification of an airport are on the ground, an initiative that the President of the Republic assumed as his mother project. This started and it doesn’t stop anymore,” said Pichardo.
Also present at the visit were the Governor of Pedernales, Miriam Brea, and the Mayor of Oviedo, Ramón Pérez, who expressed their satisfaction at seeing that the work is being carried out and that the population of Pedernales will finally see their dream come true. Pichardo thanked the receptivity and willingness of the entire community, “We, together with the IDAC and the APP (General Directorate of Public-Private Alliance) are working day and night,” concluded Víctor Pichardo.
The delimitation of the international airport of Pedernales covers about 14 million square meters.
The tourism development project of Pedernales is practically ready, from the point of view of capital, financing and final design of the hotels that will begin to be built in the semester of 2022. This was announced by President Luis Abinader, at the end of January presentation made to investors in Madrid, Spain.
