History
The first SJO airport Departures took place in 1958. Until 1998, little happened at the airport. Then came a proposal to renew the airport. After many years of wrangling and negotiations, a partner has had to upgrade the facilities. After again disagreements about the financing, the renovation was stopped again. It even got to the point where an international aviation organization labeled the airport as unsafe. Only a few years later, some foreign organizations ensured that the expansion and renovation of the Juan Santamaría airport could still take place. Over the past 20 years, the numbers of passengers have increased considerably to more than double, with a record in 2019. More than 5 million passengers were transported at that time.
