Government to propose adjustments to the new airport technical report submitted by ANA

The government intends to propose changes to the technical project for the new airport, which was originally submitted by the concessionaire ANA in July. While the government and ANA are reportedly aligned on the core project, the official evaluation and requested adjustments are expected to be delivered to the company soon.

Why it matters

This indicates the planning phase for the new airport is ongoing and subject to changes, meaning any final timelines or project specifications are not yet settled for residents or travelers.
