Members macdaddi Posted March 9 Members Posted March 9 Today the municipal government of Rio Negro announced a new government investment in the expansion of the MDE airport. Interesting that this was timed a day following the national elections here. Construction will begin in 2028 after land expansion and clearing is complete. The new facility will include a second, larger landing strip for bigger planes and finally – – an expanded international processing area for foreign visitors. The MDE airport was designed for 14 million passengers per year, which it reached in 2024. midwestdad, Chucky and floridarob 3 Quote
