Movilidad en un entorno natural : Aeropuerto El Eden Armenia Quindio

Abstract

Air transport has recently developed as an innovative aero-commercial industry that contributes to the economic growth and social progress of a country. This type of transport has been implemented more easily in places with tourist wealth or in strategic territories for business, from this, it is possible to develop a new airport infrastructure for the airport of Eden, which is located 10 minutes from the town of the city of Armenia. This is part of the four main cities of the Colombian coffee axis, belonging to one of the main centers of commerce and tourism, where its economy and identity revolve around the cultivation and commercialization of coffee, followed by agricultural and industrial activities, not only of the paisa region, but also western Colombia in general, on the other hand, this air terminal is located at an equidistant point from the triangle made up of the cities of Bogotá, Medellin and Cali, in addition to being very close to the country's main seaport. However, the current state of this airport is not suitable to be one of international cargo, likewise, it does not meet the national and international airport standards, it has difficulties in its operation and facilities. According to the above, it is necessary to develop a new air infrastructure, in order to increase the demand for departure and entry of flights in the city of Armenia, encouraging social, tourism and economic development.
