Who knows about it, what airport is it? What it will serve, what airline and destinations? What about the terminal and runways? When it will be opened?

location, location, location

This has been one of the most expensive airports ever built. It is located near the biggest dump in the whole island, lots of birds activity which will be hitting airplanes very soon...Geotechnical, the land is not very compatible with the building of an airport. An underground river runs near the runway threshold which prevents the runway to be stable. It has a lot of IMC conditions throughout the year, you have to go through Villa Mella to get there, the highway which connects the Airport is in bad shape and other factors that proves the believe that no study was done to build the airport. And in the end, the only one who will pay the consequences are the operator, passengers and the airlines.
