Saying the Puerto Rico Ports Authority has the authority to lease the Luis Muñoz Marín Airport in San Juan to Aerostar Airport Holdings, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration confirmed its approval of the public-private partnership that will officially transfer control of the facility to the consortium.
The Puerto Rico House of Representatives wrapped up nearly a month of probing the terms of the public-private partnership agreement proposed for the Luis Muñoz Marín Airport Monday with a scathing report that shoots down any benefit to the deal through which the government would turn over the management of the facility to a private operator.
The Federal Aviation Administration announced Friday it is considering eliminating the overnight shift of air traffic control tower operators at Luis Muñoz Marín Airport in early April as part of a plan to reduce its expenditures by approximately $600 million for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2013.
