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.
Puerto Rico Ports Authority Executive Director Víctor Suárez said Tuesday the Federal Aviation Administration has been “rigorously evaluating” the proposed public-private partnership deal for the Luis Muñoz Marín International airport because “everything they express will become precedent.”
