Returning custody of the local airstrip
Regresan la custodia de la aeropista local.. [+] Ver mas
After nearly 23 years of being in the hands of the Mexican Navy, custody of the local airstrip was officially turned over to the government of Quintana Roo at the commemoration ceremonies for Day of the Mexican Navy. The Commander of the Fifth Naval Region, Admiral Juan Guillermo Fierro Rocha, handed the property over to Governor Roberto Borge Angula with a document that transferred custody. With this process, the state begins responsibility for administering the 1250 meter long runway. The Commander presented the final agreement of termination of the airstrip to the Governor of Quintana Roo on behalf of Admiral Vidal Francisco Soberon Sanz, Secretary of the Navy.
On January 7, 1993, the state government and the federal government, through the Ministry of the Navy of Mexico, sanctioned by the Ministry of Communications and Transport, made an agreement for the Navy of Mexico to take responsibility for the Isla Mujeres airstrip, and has operated it since then, for almost 23 years. With the signing of this document, the state government takes possession of the property, located to the south of the naval base. The Ministry of the Navy of Mexico cedes functions of oversight, specifically regarding administration, custody, maintenance, and operations on the property.
Enrique Lima Zuno represented the private sector as a witness to these events, because he had been a principal person in this process.
