Panama prepares to overhaul aviation route network

The Civil Aviation Authority of Panama is preparing to modify the country’s airspace to meet the expected fast growth in air traffic, Alfredo Fonseca, director of the institution, told the press.

“A re-organisation of flight routes is necessary to avoid complications, but its execution is a very complex issue and we will hire international companies that are experts in the subject,” he said.

He said the proposal should be ready for next year, as a forecast surge in traffic is expected in advance of the World Youth Day of the Catholic Church, which will be held in January 2019.
