Background ✨
San Jose Juan Santamaria International Airport previously advanced a broader USD62.2 million terminal expansion plan to reach 16,500sqm, including a modernised baggage handling system, customs expansion, and self check-in and bag drop, with completion expected in 20271. It also selected Alstef Group for a phased baggage handling system upgrade, starting with twelve check-in stations plus conveyors and a carousel, then linking into existing infrastructure and adding inline screening and automated security screening in later phases2. The airport opened a 3800sqm international arrivals area as part of a USD62 million expansion that aimed to add over 10,000sqm, including enlarged baggage inspection and operational areas plus new commercial spaces3.
