With the objective of taking another step towards the authorization by the National Civil Aviation Administration (ANAC) that will allow the operation of the “Comodoro JJ Pierrestegui” Airport, training on fire extinction is being carried out.
The activity, developed by the ANAC, which counts on the participation of different sectors involved in these types of situations, takes place within the framework of an aeronautical familiarization day and is a key instance in the operational requirements for the reactivation of commercial flights.
Federico Schattenhofer, president of the Aerocommercial Development Entity of the Concordia Airport (EDAAC), highlighted that “this is general training, but also specifically focused on the fire extinction service, which has been able to be carried out, summoning those who perform functions at the airport and external institutions. All this is done with the objective of achieving the final authorization of the airport”.
Mario Moreira, trainer from the ANAC, pointed out that “it is fundamental to be prepared to receive any type of aircraft and act effectively in case of emergency. This approach was comprehensive, with an emphasis on the aircraft that could operate soon in Concordia”.
The objective of the ANAC's Rescue and Fire Extinction Service is to save lives in case of accidents or incidents and to provide the Prevention, Mitigation, and Response Service for Emergencies and Disasters that may occur within the scope of the airports/aerodromes under its responsibility.
Participating in the training were the board of directors of the EDAAC; personnel from the Airport Security Police (PSA); from the Argentine Air Navigation Company SE (EANA SE); Volunteer Firefighters; Sapper Firefighters and from the Municipal Forest Brigade.
