In December 2008, the initial meeting was held to launch the first Master Plan 2008-2028 for Sir Donald Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica\u2019s second largest city in terms of population and the tourist capital of the country. It was Ineco\u2019s first job, completed in 2009, at an airport that receives more and more visitors every year, almost four million in 2017.<\/p>\n
The growth of the airport in recent years has required various expansion and modernisation projects implemented by its operator, the company MBJ Airports, which was granted a 30-year concession by the Jamaican government in 2003. Over the course of these ten years, Ineco has collaborated with MBJ not only by producing the Master Plan,<\/i> which it updated in 2015, but also by providing various specialized engineering and consulting services for both land and airside facilities.<\/p>\nTAXIWAY RESURFACING<\/b><\/h4>\n
The company is currently overseeing resurfacing work on the airport\u2019s taxiways, which is being carried out in stages so as not to disrupt operations. Although other improvements were made previously to the runway, also under Ineco\u2019s guidance, (see the box at the end of the article), this is the first time that Sangster International Airport has undergone a project of such magnitude, with work also being carried out during the day.<\/p>\n
