Laura Velázquez, head of the National Civil Protection Coordination (CNPC), reported that the new Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) complies with the provisions of the General Civil Protection Law and its Regulations, this one day before the opening scheduled for Monday, March 21.
According to Velázquez Alzúa, the air terminal located in Santa Lucia, State of Mexico, after carrying out the necessary review efforts, the integration and implementation of the Internal Civil Protection Program (PIPC) was endorsed, which complies with the national standard required for projects of this nature.
In an official statement, the head of the unit indicated that for the revision of the AIFA Internal Civil Protection Programme, CNPC staff conducted three meetings and two on-site tours with the team responsible for its preparation.
In this context, he explained that the PIPC is a planning and operating instrument limited to the scope of each unit, which consists of specific plans to address the different phases of an emergency.
“It includes signage to distinguish evacuation routes, areas of lower risk, meeting points, fire extinguishers, early warning systems, as well as the location and contact mechanisms for the rescue and relief service to the population”
In this light, the official recalled that the threats contemplated by the Program are those of geological, hydrometeorological, chemical-technological, socio-organizational and health-ecological origin.
“As part of the PIPC, consideration is given to the standardization of training programs to professionalize personnel in emergency prevention and response, as well as in the planning and execution of drill exercises to assess their response capabilities”
It was also pointed out that this instrument implemented in the first mega-project to be opened by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) formalizes preventive and corrective maintenance programs that guarantee the optimal and safe functionality of the building and its mechanical and electronic equipment.
“With regard to the response phase, the PIPC integrates specific protocols that coordinate the action of brigade members and airport personnel to respond to an emergency and the safeguarding of passengers and workers”
Finally, the head of the Coordination pointed out that in the recovery phase, the Programme seeks to ensure continuity of operations and assesses the damage, as well as the actions necessary for the return to normality.
Despite the fact that AIFA has such protocols and has a close approval date, it was criticized by the Mexican population, who made the alleged cost of private transport to the air terminal viral. This is because Francisco Arrubarrena, former Technical Secretary of the Board of Directors at Mexico Dialogos, shared a post comparing the alleged costs of a trip from Satellite to the airport.
“I just quoted a trip on Uber, leaving Satellite, to the two airports there are. The trip to AICM will take exactly 40 minutes and cost $269.98. The trip to AIFA will take exact 3 hours and 57 minutes and will cost $3,199.92. Judge yourselves”
However, this is false information that does not coincide with the location of AIFA or with the route suggested by the federal government to access it, which is why the subject of mockery on social networks: “They are sending it almost to San Luis Potosí”, “Stop misinforming”, “You put a destination practically in the tourist area of the mountain” , was read in some of the more than three thousand comments that the publication obtained.
