La licitación del nuevo aeropuerto El Dorado II, Bogotá, comenzará en dos meses

Después de varios años, el proceso de licitación del segundo aeropuerto del área de Bogotá (El Dorado II) comenzará en agosto. Se prevé que la fase inicial concluya en un plazo de cinco años.

En diciembre de 2016 el gobierno nacional, por medio de la Agencia Nacional de Infraestructura (ANI), adjudicó por concurso de méritos la estructuración de este proyecto al consorcio conformado por la empresa británica Mott MacDonald, la española Aertec Solutions y la colombiana C&M Consultores.

El aeropuerto se construirá entre los municipios de Madrid y Facatativá y tendrá una capacidad de 7,5 millones de pasajeros anuales y responde a la idea de que el actual aeropuerto de El Dorado I se saturará entre 2022 y 2025.
