New terminal at the Liberia International Airport

This is the new terminal at the Liberia International Airport. It is quite a contrast to the collection of buildings that I showed yesterday. Already about one-third of the international tourists who come to Costa Rica fly into Liberia rather than the capitol of San Jose, and that number is expected to increase in the future with the new airport terminal.

The new terminal has not yet opened, although the building is complete. The government is doing inspections of the interior construction work by the contractor before opening the terminal building. The airport will be operated by a private company that won a bid for a long term concession to build and operate the airport.

This week we are showing photos of San Pedro de Atacama, the main town in the Atacama desert of northern Chile on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

What a sleek modern building this is!

All quiet now... soon to be bustling. We just opened a new addition to our Jetport.

Thanks for sharing this, in many ways I'll miss the quaint old terminal.

Big change. It looks, as Sharon says, sleek.
