📋 Tender Overview
With the maintenance carried out, the beginning of the runway was recovered, an area that had some deficiencies due to intense air traffic.The Peruvian Corporation of Airports and Commercial Aviation (Corpac), an organization attached to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC), confirmed that as of today the runway of the Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport in Cusco operates in its entirety, having satisfactorily completed the maintenance work that forced it to be shortened by about 600 meters.
As part of a planned maintenance process, it has been possible to recover the entire asphalt layer in the threshold area (start of the runway) and eliminate the protuberances and losses of the asphalt caused by intense air traffic.
These works guarantee better safety and efficiency conditions in air operations at the second most important airport in Peru, which has more than 100 daily operations, between national and international flights.
In coordination with the General Directorate of Civil Aeronautics of the MTC and the airlines that operate in said air terminal, the operational length of the runway had to be reduced since last Saturday to complete the work. This measure allowed operations to be maintained normally, without affecting scheduled flights.
Final maintenance work, such as painting signs and cleaning the runway, will be carried out between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., a period in which there are no scheduled air operations.
With the conclusion of these tasks, Corpac reaffirms its commitment to operational safety and the continuous improvement of airport infrastructure.
