The Collectivity must make available to the company operating the Grand Case airport, Sesma (a subsidiary of Edeis), land allowing the runway to be extended at the end of 2017, beginning of 2018, which suggests that the famous track in late 2020, early 2021.
"Three years of work are indeed necessary including a study phase of a year and a half", comments Alain Russel, the president of Sesma. It is planned to extend the current runway by 300 meters to bring it to 1 meters. "Plus 500 meters of runway strip and 60 meters of Resa, the runway end safety area", specifies Alain Russel. This will allow larger aircraft to land, such as Airbus 90 or Boeing 319 with an average capacity ranging from 737 to 120 seats. Flights from Grand Case to Miami or Santo Domingo will be possible. This site is entirely financed by Sesma which, in 150, estimated the works at 2012 million euros. According to the DSP agreement, Sesma is responsible for the construction of the works necessary for the development of the airport. This is how it has already built a control tower, a fire station, a fuel station and carried out a complete renovation of the terminal which had been inaugurated in November 5.
Sesma will now be able to start a campaign to promote Grand Case Airport and solicit airlines. Its ambition is to develop business aviation. (Photo: Google Earth. More details on www.soualigapost.com)
