Project Description
The CDC has announced that it will issue a notice for an environmental-impact assessment study to assess the feasibility of establishing a cargo airport and an aeronautical or aerospace industrial cluster in the Coega industrial development zone (IDZ).
The planned cluster will be located in Zone 14 of the IDZ, which currently stretches across 2 086 ha.
