San José Airport
Terminal Finally
Completed And
Delivered!
The long lines
to enter Costa
Rica at San José
international
airport are
over, the
departures and
arrivals area is
now bigger and
with more retail
stores and
restaurants and
the airlines
counter is not
longer crowded.
That was the
scenario
yesterday as the
Ministerio de
Obras Públicas y
Transportes (MOPT)
and Aeris
inaugurated the
completion of
the terminal,
following years
of delays.
The terminal now
boasts double
the number of
immigration
check-in posts -
a total of 28 -
and lots more
room for many
things,
including the
possibility of
attracting more
airlines to
Costa Rica, with
added counter
space, offices,
waiting areas
and gates.
The completed
terminal will
also soon have
its first
"diplomat"
lounge, just in
time for the
arrival of
foreign
dignitaries for
the May 8
presidential
swearing in
ceremony.
Under the new
management by
Aeris, the
terminal was
completed two
months ahead of
the last
scheduled
delivery, after
years of stalled
work.
Aeris believes
that the
terminal can now
handle up to 12
million
passengers a
year.
