Houston Airport System (HAS), which is the new administrator and
operator of Juan Santamaria International Airport and is in charge of
the revamping of the facility, was also awarded the administration of
Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia, Guanacaste. According
to the Minister of Public Works and Transportation Karla Gonzalez, the
initial investment at Liberia will be $35 million. HAS is the fourth
largest airport operator in the United States and the sixth worldwide.
The airport is currently very antiquated and with the new improvements should help with the processing speed of travelers.
