Chile's massive earthquake: Aviation update

Chile's President-elect Sebastian Pinera will take over from current President, Michelle Bachelet, on 11-May-2010, inheriting a country and infrastructure shattered by the 8.8 magnitude earthquake early on Saturday (27-Feb-2010). Mr Pinera is currently working with Mrs Bachelet to coordinate recovery efforts. The immediate challenge for the government will be on recovery and security efforts, before a major infrastructure rebuilding phase can commence.
