For the current government, it is a priority for the State to comply with international commitments in terms of operational safety, the head of the government said in a message on the Ministry’s X profile.

“The regulatory function of civil aviation has not been efficiently fulfilled”, and the administration of airports has been deficient, she added.

In the case of the La Aurora aerodrome, we all know its history to adequately comply with regulations and procedures, said de la Vega, who added that a comprehensive strategy for the recovery of the system is being designed.

Azucena Zelaya, deputy administrative and financial director, will take over the direction of the Civil Aeronautics, the minister said.

The Guatemalan president said last week on social media that Argueta’s dismissal was in process and informed that it would be very soon.

The lawmaker from Movimiento Semilla, Elena Motta, reacted to Arévalo’s publication and pointed out that “a dignified airport has been the longing of many Guatemalans for many years.”
