CUSCO, PE - The Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport of Cusco will soon have runway lighting to allow it to receive flights around the clock, thus increasing the number of domestic and foreign tourist visits to the ancient capital of the Incas. Peruvian Transport and Communications Minister, Enrique Cornejo, announced that Lan Perú plans to invest 500,000 dollars in the temporary installation of a runway lighting system as early as March or April this year."This is important because travelers won’t have to travel to Cusco at dawn," he said. Cornejo noted that his ministry will complete the implementation of a permanent lighting system before the end of this year. He explained that works at Cusco’s airport will begin in the coming weeks and will not affect flights, “we will also work at night to avoid interfering with flights” he explained.
