Liberia
Airport Expansion Gets OK
The Aeropuerto Internacional Daniel Oduber
in Liberia will be in private hands for the
next 20 years following the approval by the
Contraloría General de la República
(Comptroller's office) to give Consorcio
Coriport the airport concession.
Guillermo Matamoros, viceministro de
Concesiones for the Ministerio de Obras
Públicas y Transportes (MOPT), explained
that plans for the expansion of the airport
can now be completed and by April 2010 the
construction can begin.
The new terminal would be 23.000 square
metres (247.000 square feet) on two levels
costing some us$34 million dollars.
The consortium is made up of MMM Aviation
Group S.A., Cocobolo Inversiones, Emperador
Pez Espada S.R.L., Brad and Ted Corporation
S.R.L. and Houston Airport System.
Houston also manages the Juan Santamaría
(San José) international airport, taking
over from Alterra Partners.
The MOPT minister, Karla González, said she
was pleased at the green light by the
Contraloría as the Liberia airport is
showing a 20% increase in demand.
