Aerostar Airport Holdings, LLC is marking its fourth year as operator of the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, with a list of achievements including breaking passenger traffic records, infrastructure improvements, and new commercial establishments.
Saying the island’s tourism sector is the “first industry to come out of recession,” Puerto Rico Tourism Co. Executive Director Ingrid Rivera said the work done over the past three-and-a-half years would result in record-breaking numbers by year’s end.
The massive exodus of Puerto Ricans to the U.S. mainland and the island’s continuing financial mess is certainly bad news, but the increased air traffic has been a bonanza for Aerostar Airport Holdings LLC, the company that’s taken over management of San Juan’s Luis Muñóz Marín International Airport.
