The new departure hall has 150 check-in counters and commercial premises, a first-floor "Zeppelin" with an internal structure and enclosure where airport control and passenger immigration tasks will be carried out, and two underground levels for airline operations, airport police, and maintenance.
"We are very proud to have successfully completed this project, and we are confident that the new departure hall will be a great contribution to the Ezeiza terminal," said Alejandro Belio, CEO of GCDI, adding: "This type of development undoubtedly goes in line with our main objective: to develop constructions that improve people's lives, as we have been doing for more than 80 years."
GCDI was the main contractor for the project and was responsible for executing tasks such as masonry and finishing work, furnishings, ironwork, plumbing, structural work, among others. 2,500 people were employed directly and indirectly during its execution, which began in mid-2018 and resumed last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Infonegocios inaugurated the new international hall with Aerolíneas Argentina flight 1302, direct from Buenos Aires and Miami. On par with Colombia, Mexico, and Miami, the new hall puts Buenos Aires at the top of airport structures in America.
