In consortium with Peruvian consultancy HOB, Ineco has been awarded the contract to prepare a pre-investment study for the creation of a new aerodrome in the Barranca District in the Loreto department of the Peruvian Amazon.

The study will define the options in terms of location and size. Its scope will include an analysis of traffic demand; an analysis of the airspace and flight procedures; the orientation of the airfield; technical, economic, social and environmental issues; and, engineering with respect to the profile and cost of the project.

Ineco will be responsible for the work related to aviation, while HOB Consultores will be handle the aspects of the project related to the location, data collection and fieldwork.

Aeropuertos de Peru, the operator of Iquitos Airport in the northeast of the country, has announced the award of its Air-side Upgrade and Maintenance Project (PRMLA) to a consortium headed up by Ineco and the Peruvian engineering company HOB. The project consists of drafting a technical dossier for the airport’s runway, taxiway and apron improvement works. Coronel FAP Francisco Secada Vignetta International Airport is of great strategic importance for the city of Iquitos and its half a million inhabitants because it is located in the middle of the Amazon rainforest and there is no access by land, only by river and air.
