QCOSTARICA – Following the ending of the contract with the company Consorcio Exact Change, which offers the service of exchanging currency at the San José airport, Aeris Holding Costa Rica has started procedures for selecting a new provider.
The company managing Juan Santamaria International (SJO) airport announced the end of the contract with the Spanish exchange services provider, due to the fact that it has not completed the process of registering with the Central Bank of Costa Rica (BCCR) and the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (SUGEF).
Therefore preparations are being made, for the coming months, to release specifications for a new tender for the service.
