Andorra's national heliport at La Caubella is set to become operational next month, with facilities nearly complete.
The site will house air traffic control services, emergency response teams, heliport staff and a dedicated passenger area. David Forné, Secretary of State for Energy Transition, Transport and Mobility, told RTVA that equipment is almost finished, requiring about three months to wrap up remaining works. He said it would be ready to operate before June.
The La Caubella land will remain publicly owned and run under a concession regime. It joins the Andorra–La Seu airport as a key transport link for the country.
Negotiations with Spain are progressing well to allow both facilities to handle flights from outside the Schengen Area, expanding their scope. Officials expect between 2,000 and 3,700 annual operations at the heliport.
