The Special Administrative Unit for Civil Aeronautics of Colombia, also known as Aerocivil, entered a contract on Friday with U.S. engineering services firm T.Y. Lin of Coral Gables, Fla., to update the master plan for the development of El Dorado International Airport in Bogota.
The technical assistance contract, which was made possible through a $891,000 grant made by the U.S. Trade and Development Agency, will support the expansion of Colombia’s aviation sector. The master plan update will include recommendations for equipment, particularly related to terminal technology and security improvements, representing export opportunities for U.S. firms involved in the aviation sector.
