According to Crypto News, El Salvador is building an airport for its Bitcoin City project. About a month ago, YouTube user Albert Sánchez uploaded aerial footage of what he claimed were construction workers working on the site.
The airport will be called Pacífico Airport and will also be known as Bitcoin City Airport. According to Criptonoticias, the airport construction will “go hand-in-hand with the construction of Bitcoin City.” In an urban construction project, El Salvador will build a site at the foot of a volcano where geothermal power will be used to power the city and mine Bitcoin.
The Salvadoran government first unveiled the plan in late 2021, saying Bitcoin City would allow its residents to conduct tax-free businesses in the country where Bitcoin has legal tender status.
