As reported by Airplan, the operator of the José María Córdova international airport in Rionegro (Antioquia), this weekend the runway will be closed for maintenance workauthorized by the Civil Aeronautics.
The closing time was the same as last weekend and it is as follows: from 2 am on Saturday, February 26, to 2 pm on Sunday, February 27, adding up to a total of 72 hours of work intervening on the pavement, counting the two work weekends.
The decision of said intervention, explained the entity, was made after seeing the results of the periodic measurements carried out by the Airport to identify the state of the runway.

“These interventions are preventive and predictive measures, since for us it is a priority to guarantee the safety and quality of air operations. In fact, when running these jobs, we improve both the capacity and the rolling of the trackin turn strengthening the confidence that the airport community places in our terminal on a daily basis”, said Fredy Jaramillo Giraldo, manager of the Airport.
The manager added that the dates chosen for the closures were arranged with the different airlines that operate in the air terminal, “thus enabling timely notification to passengers and, consequently, the reorganization of flights.”
Although this event was known in advance, travelers were recommended to review their flight itineraries so that, in case of having a trip during closing hours, they can communicate with the respective airlines so that they can reschedule them, avoiding possible difficulties to time to travel.
