After a tour led by the mayor of the Metropolitan District of Quito, Mauricio Rodas, the Mariscal Sucre Airport’s expansion Phase 2A became operational earlier.
The development will offer more comfort, greater services and increased efficiency for the thousands of domestic passengers that daily pass through the terminal.
This work, built with an investment of $22 million financed exclusively by the shareholders of Corporacion Quiport, ratified the concessionaire’s mission to focus its efforts on providing a first class service in all areas; in other words, for domestic and international passengers alike.
Andrew O’Brian, president, Quiport said: “It is an honour to present this new infrastructure to the city of Quito, in order to not only improve passenger comfort but also, thanks to an architectural style and materials employed, project a sense of identity and belonging to Quito, thus contributing to the excellent image that the city and the country have.”
The expansion of the air terminal for domestic flights has 7,910 square meters of construction, 870 additional seats, two new passenger boarding bridges and ten gates, representing an increase in capacity in waiting lounges of 30 per cent.
This will allow more flexibility to serve a greater number of domestic operations via boarding bridges and the consequent reduction of bus operations, which directly benefits passengers and airlines.
The incorporation of the extension’s ten boarding gates facilitates the management of departure and arrival procedures, and allows the optimisation of the number of operations.
Passengers will wait for their flights in a more comfortable in an environment designed with natural lighting, thanks to the large windows and high ceiling that instil a feeling of ample space.Read More 21/05/2015 Breaking Travel New
