Operations were interrupted on specific days from October 13, 2017 to facilitate the amalgamation of the existing main runway with a new Taxiway which, when completed, would be able to accommodate parking positions for large aircraft.
“The critical part of the merger has been completed, and aircraft flight operations will be able to resume nightly operations from 18:00h tomorrow,” said Andre Kellman, the airport’s acting Chief Executive Officer.
The entire project, when completed, would see a transformation of the Timehri facility, including a new Arrivals Terminal Building, two boarding bridges with the provision to install additional bridges at a later stage; increased duty free shops; improved parking facilities, and a renovated Departures Terminal.
