With a feasibility study which could be ready in early 2016, Tocumen SA will decide whether it would be feasible or not to transfer the Marcos Gelabert Airport to installations at Panama Pacifico.

After talk about the possibility of moving the operations at Marcos Gelabert Airport to the Panamá Pacífico Terminal, Tocumen SA has announced that it has hired the company Sociedad Aeropuertos de París (ADP), to carry out a study and determine whether it would be feasible to make the change.

“… Joseph Fidanque III indicated that nothing is concrete in relation to the transfer of Albrook airport to Howard, noting that they have to wait for the results of the study. The manager of Tocumen SA expects the study results to be delivered in early 2016. ”

Prensa.com reports that “… the ADP is also making a master plan that will define the need for infrastructure at Tocumen International Airport in 2035. A spokesperson for the Panamanian Association of Aviation, Jaime Fabrega said that this move would be bad for the country. He said that 18 charter companies operate in Albrook, plus the passenger airline Air Panama, as well as 15 maintenance workshops and four flight schools. ”
