One of the key issues was the investment of the departmental government, with royalty resources, to improve the runway of the El Espino municipality aerodrome, which could have a social character in the future, thinking about the tourist and economic development of the north of Boyacá .
“Aerocivil has committed to advising us and accompanying us in the studies and designs to plan this runway and have it come into operation. We also raised the issue of Muzo and Quípama where we are working with international cooperation to develop the project. For this initiative, Aeronautics will support us with the studies and designs,” the governor reported.
Regarding the issue of the Tunja airport, he expressed that, together with Mayor Mikhail Krasnov, the idea of having a scenario that allows the development of drone flight will be worked on, in addition to having a university city focused on science, technology and innovation.

Regarding the issue of the Paipa airport, the governor assured that the Aeronautics will carry out some key works to improve the conditions of the infrastructure, such as, for example, a cafeteria for those who make their trips from there.
“We have committed our word to look with parts of the Government at how we can expand this path for the future, in coordination with the Mayor’s Office of Paipa. Likewise, Aeronautics is committed to reviewing a space to carry out the conditioning of fuel for aircraft, as well as to analyze alternatives that allow the reduction of flight time on the Paipa – Medellín route and vice versa, which will significantly help lower costs. . This is added to the agreements made with Clic Air regarding the purchase of flights for businessmen, athletes and others, so that this flight continues to operate,” stated Amaya.
