According to La Nación, the first passengers to enter the terminal left on a 6:50 a.m. flight to Miami, Florida. 

“The terminal is fully operational and the passengers are impressed by the quality of the installations,” said Adriana Echandi, Britt Shop Director for Costa Rica and the Caribbean. Our stores are open and we believe that we now have the conditions for a good customer service and to increase our sales volume.” 

President Laura Chinchilla will visit the new terminal during its first day of operations.
