The job of modernizing the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport so that it becomes a world-class international gateway that is profitable and attractive to travelers will require significant capital investments and networking — and will not happen overnight.
The cash offer submitted by Aerostar Airport Holdings — a consortium comprised of Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste (ASUR) and Highstar Capital IV, L.P. — to run the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport edged out its competitor’s proposal by just $48 million, Puerto Rico Public Private Partnership Authority Executive Director David Álvarez said Thursday.
Exactly one week after receiving proposals from the last two remaining consortiums vying to take over the management of the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, Gov. Luis Fortuño announced today the government has chosen Aerostar Airport Holdings for the job.
