Puerto Rico Public Private Alliance Authority Executive Director David Álvarez acknowledged Tuesday that if the Federal Aviation Administration fails to give its go-ahead to the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport P3, the government would not pursue another such deal.
While dozens of representatives from the public, private and labor sectors asked for a turn to speak during last Friday’s Federal Aviation Administration-sponsored hearing on the proposal to transfer the operation of Puerto Rico’s main airport facility, the Luis Muñoz Marín Airport, out of the government’s hands, others have opted to go online to express their thoughts on the historic transaction.
The president of Puerto Rican airline Air Flamenco asked the local government to reconsider its endorsement of a subsidy to Massachusetts-based Cape Air for flights connecting the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport.
