The facilities of the aerial terminal located in the department of Canelones will be intervened through a public tender, which will include the arrival and departure buildings, as well as the parking lot. The total extension covers 17,000 square meters, in an area that has not been used for more than thirteen years, recalled the Minister of National Defense, Javier García, after the agreement with President Lacalle Pou.
García reported that it will be at the discretion of the bidders to propose the type of undertaking to be developed in the buildings that make up the former Carrasco airport. “It is a very important area of the country that has been abandoned for 13 years,” recalled the chief, at a press conference, this Tuesday 5.
He added that in the next few days the specifications will be published and that there will be four months to present the offers. “In said tender, it is not contemplated that there is access to the track,” he explained.
Likewise, he considered that the future military presence on the property will give an added value in terms of security to the undertaking that is developed.
Asked about the future of the Boiso Lanza air base, the minister pointed out that work is being done regarding the land. The intention of the ministry is to dispose of some of them, as a way of concentrating all the educational services of the Air Force in the same place, he stressed. Presidency
