About 15 years ago, a local flying enthusiast, Domingo Urquia Melian, began with the construction of a small airfield for ultra light aircraft. The idea was to connect Antigua with Los Alares and Triquivijate. After completion there was a hangar to stow 3 small planes and an ultra light helicopter, called “autogiro”, and a bar that serves to both, meeting place and class room. Flight planning is done here too.
