Ecuador to repurpose Los Perales Airport as logistics hub for El Niño response

Ecuadorian Assemblywoman Valentina Centeno announced plans to rehabilitate Los Perales Airport in Manabí and convert it into a logistics center to support El Niño-related relief efforts. The move signals a shift in infrastructure priorities toward disaster response, though funding and timeline remain unspecified. This is a notable but localized development in Ecuador's climate adaptation strategy.
