Colombia’s largest airport receives expansion loan

Expansion of Bogota’s international airport, El Dorado, will go ahead after Latin America’s largest financial development lenders awarded a loan to the organization spearheading the development.

The plans include an entirely new terminal, integrating both domestic and international flights, a new control tower, an additional fire station, new mechanisms to manage cargo and an expansion of areas to park planes.

The loan was awarded to the Concesionaria Operadora Aeroportuaria Internacional (OPAIN), a collection of investors and shareholders largely from the construction and infrastructural industries who, for the past 20 years, have held a concession to operate El Dorado.
