Peru, South Korea sign technical assistance agreement on Chinchero Airport

13:37 | Urubamba (Cusco region), Oct. 24.

Peru and South Korea on Thursday signed a government-to-government agreement on technical assistance for the construction of Chinchero International Airport, the hosting country's Transport and Communications Ministry (MTC) has affirmed.

MTC Head Edmer Trujillo was present at the signing event, in which it was underlined that the start of operations of the air terminal will boost tourism and the competitiveness of over 428,000 Cusco region residents, as income will rise 18.75% thanks to the arrival of national and foreign tourists.

The new airport will be built in Chinchero district, Urubamba province (Cusco region). It will enable the arrival and departure of direct flights from Bogota, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Quito, and Panama, as well as other cities in the Americas.

Likewise, the increase in visitors will create jobs for Cusco region's labor, which will definitely have a positive impact on the quality of life and opportunities for the people residing in that southern area of the country.

Furthermore, MTC reiterated that this air terminal will be a green airport as its infrastructure will be eco-friendly and make use of the resources efficiently.

It should be noted government-to-government technical assistance proposes the optimization of the project's technical studies in order to obtain a LEED certification.
