“For AERIS Holding Costa Rica, the interested manager of Juan Santamaría International Airport, working together is the key to success. This philosophy that we have adopted from CCR Group, our parent company, is confirmed because the collaboration with the Costa Rican Civil Aviation authorities, the private sector and the public sector, results in a world-class airport, in which the best international practices prevail for the benefit of the aviation industry and the recovery of the national economy,” said Ricardo Hernandez, CEO of AERIS.

The issuance of this certificate guarantees the standardization and compliance with the norms recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization, as well as the regulations established by the DGAC for the management of different operations at the airport.
