In parallel, another firm will work on changing the lighting wiring. “There is a first stage that the planes will be able to operate, then the airport will be closed because once they remove the asphalt from the runway there are no more possibilities. There the activity will be suspended for approximately two and a half months, “they pointed out.

On the other hand, two weeks after the request for reports made by the State Prosecutors Office, the Provincial Executive has not yet received responses from the competent agencies on the situation of the General Pico Airport. Given this, the measures to be taken are being analyzed and this week there could be news. Government House sources consulted by LA ARENA confirmed that "there is still no response" from the Regulatory Body of the National Airport System (Orsna) and from Aeropuertos Argentina 2000. Given this, they anticipated that "the measures to be followed in this week". For the time being, they chose not to give any indications about what kind of actions the Pampas government could take. As this newspaper had reported, Governor Sergio Ziliotto instructed the State Attorneys Office to request reports from the Regulatory Body of the National Airport System (Orsna) and from Aeropuertos Argentina 2000. The intention is that these entities provide details on the situation and the status of the airport located in General Pico. As reported by the Executive, on Friday, July 15, prosecutor Romina Schmidt notified "both the national body and the concessionaire of the aerostation." Both, they explained, "are responsible for keeping the airport operational." The objective of the provincial government is that these entities present reports on the situation and the state of the airport located in Genera Pico. In addition, it required that "possible supervisions/inspections and/or work carried out or to be carried out therein be made known, in order to become aware of the operation of said airport." The State prosecutor based the request on the need to know "if measures and processes have been adopted that allow the operation of commercial air passenger services, ensuring the provision of the service in safe and correct conditions", during the period in which the Santa Rosa Airport will remain closed for repairs.
