Curacao Business
The approval was given to start renovations at Hato airport with Curaçao Airport Partners investing 17 million guilders for the project. The renovations will include the building of the technical department on the east side, which is to function as a FBO (fixed-base operator) facility, mainly for private aircrafts. A three-year renovation project of the runway and taxiway, involving almost six million guilders, is already underway. At the end of this year new chairs will be placed in the departure hall, air-conditioning in the check-in hall, a new x-ray machine for luggage and a new lavatory facility. The Curaçao Airport Plaza, which is opposite the terminal building, will be completed within one year and will have more catering and retail. The old terminal on the west side will be demolished and an expansion will be built on that spot. In the future, there will be an expansion of parking facilities with the possibility of a parking garage.
