Cortissoz Airport modernization handed over to Barranquilla Mayor's Office

The Colombian government has transferred responsibility for modernizing Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport to the Barranquilla Mayor's Office, with the District committing $40 billion COP for the works. The Civil Aeronautics retains control over runway, air navigation, and operational safety, indicating a split governance model. This marks a shift in airport management, potentially accelerating infrastructure upgrades but raising coordination questions.
