Although precautions have been taken at the
Juan Santamaria (San Jose) international
airport against the swine flu, the same is
not the case at the Aeropuerto Internacional
Tobías Bolaños or Pavas airport as it is
more commonly known.
The airport, which handles mainly domestic
and private flights, also receives
international flights, including Mexico and
the United States.
Carlos Ramírez, cheif of customers
operations at the airport, said that his
employees have not been equipped with masks
and gloves and are totally exposed when
checking luggage.
Ramírez added that the airport is a mixture
of national and international passengers and
has airport employees concerned of the lack
of attention by airport and health
officials.
At risk are also the transportation
services, like buses, taxis and limousine
services at the airport.
