Provincial Mayor of Ilo, ABG. Humberto Tapia Garay expressed his firm position in defense of the airport of the Moquegua region that is located in the province of Ilo.This morning, the provincial mayor of Ilo, ABG. Humberto Tapia Garay, held an important meeting with the congressman Victor Cutipa, the mayor of the District of Pacocha, ABG. Juan Ramirez, and representatives of the Regional Directorate of Transportation of Moquegua with the General Manager of the Peruvian Corporation of Airports and Commercial Aviation (CORPAC), Mr. Jose Rubio.
During the day, the authorities made a technical visit to the airport Jorge Fernandez Maldonado Solari de Ilo, where they verified their operational facilities and expressed concern about the recent retirement of the X -ray team, which was transferred to Cusco airport.
In response, the General Manager of Corpac said that, although currently the low flight demand would not justify the use of such equipment in Ilo, it promised to return it within a period not exceeding 30 days. He also highlighted the operations of the airport and the investment made in 2018 to strengthen its aeronautical infrastructure.
Ilo Airport is completely operational in infrastructure and attention, said Jose Rubio, highlighting that the conditions are given to resume commercial flights.
The provincial mayor, ABG. Humberto Tapia, thanked the presence of Corpac official and remarked that this visit is a clear sample that the airport has the necessary conditions for its operation. We continue working to achieve the reactivation of commercial flights to Ilo, for the benefit of the entire Moquegua region. This visit means the security that the airport is operational and with its functional equipment, he said.
For his part, Congressman Victor Cutipa announced that he will promote a bill so that the Peruvian State, in its subsidiary role, directly intervenes in the resumption of commercial flights, in the absence of the lack of actions by the airlines, who adduce an alleged low demand without technical support.
Finally, the Provincial Municipality of Ilo reaffirms its commitment to remain vigilant to any attempt that may affect the development and connectivity of the province and the Moquegua region.
