On July 30, Fraport Brasil finished work on the expansion of the runway, new taxiway P, RESA 13 (security area) and substations 13 and 31 at Fortaleza Airport.

All the airport infrastructure interventions (Phase 1B and Runway Phase) have been completed and Fraport Brasil believes that the competent authorities will finalize the installation of the air navigation equipment as soon as possible so that the runway expanded by 210 meters, with a total length of 2,755 meters, can be used.

"We are very proud of delivering the work ahead of schedule and with excellent quality. We would like to thank our highly qualified team, the construction consortium Passarelli e Método and all the government entities and authorities who gave us their full support to meet this challenge," says Andreea Pal, CEO of Fraport Brasil.

"Working on the construction of this airport has allowed Passarelli to put our purpose, values and skills into practice, as well as challenging us to apply complex engineering techniques, with a focus on time, quality and safety. In this way, we were able to transform and modernize the airport to meet international standards of quality and service, and deliver a project that matches the natural beauty of Ceará," says Romilson Souza, operations superintendent at Passarelli, the company leading the consortium responsible for the airport works.

"The delivery of the airside works, with the expansion of the runway, is a source of great pride for us. It's a cutting-edge project, with technical requirements of international standards, carried out while the airport is fully operational. More than just a project, it's a legacy for the country's infrastructure," said Gustavo Aguiar, director of Método's Civil Unit.
