San José Airport Will Soon Have
A Bigger Immigration Area
Visitors to the Juan Santamaría
(San José) airport will soon
have a new immigration lounge
that is bigger and can handle
more traffic, reducing the long
lines that sometimes wears thin
the patience of arriving
visitors and nationals alike.
The new immigration lounge will
be 1.300 square metres (14.000
square feet) and will have 24
counters, double of the present,
and will be ready by the end of
the year.
The Consejo Técnico de Aviación
Civil (CTAC) - aviation
authority - considers this a
priority and is looking to
having the work finished by
December, for the start of the
"high" tourist season.
The current immigration lounge
located on the second floor and
built in 2000, is 400 square
metres (4.300 square feet), and
has 12 counters, which at peak
times can mean waits of up to
one hour or more for arriving
passengers.
