Colombia Contraloría investigates Aerocafé funds and El Dorado radar failure

The Colombian Comptroller General has identified three fiscal findings totaling COP 61,273 million related to the Aerocafé International Airport projects in Caldas. The findings involve the construction of a new bridge, the access road to the passenger terminal, and a security contract for the airport's autonomous patrimony. Comptroller General Jorge Eliécer Laverde Vargas declared the matter of national impact, referring the case to the Special Investigations Unit against Corruption to determine if fiscal responsibility should be established.

Separately, the Comptroller General has requested a detailed report from the Civil Aeronautics Authority (Aerocivil) regarding a radar system failure at El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá on November 4. The technical failure caused significant flight delays and passenger congestion. The oversight body is seeking information on the causes of the failure, the number of affected passengers, the protocols activated during the incident, and the current maintenance status of the radar equipment.
