Q COSTARICA — The operator of Juan Santamaría International Airport, or San José airport (SJO), presented its 2025 Sustainability Report, a document that compiles the main advances achieved during the past year in governance, environmental performance, and social development, reaffirming its commitment to responsible management.
During 2025, Costa Rica’s main international airport handled more than 6.4 million passengers, the highest number ever recorded, consolidating its role as the country’s main gateway and a key driver of connectivity, tourism, and economic development in Costa Rica.
In the area of governance, AERIS executed an airport investment of US$28.3 million, of which US$23.1 million corresponded to projects associated with the airport’s Master Plan. Additionally, the operator strengthened its financial performance during 2025 and contributed more than US$62 million to the Costa Rican government.
“At AERIS, we understand sustainability as a way of managing the airport responsibly, generating value for people, communities, the country, and future generations. Each advance we present in this report reflects a long-term vision that seeks to strengthen connectivity, competitiveness, and the sustainable development of Costa Rica,” stated Ricardo Hernández, CEO of AERIS.
The results achieved in 2025 were also reflected in the international recognition received by Juan Santamaría International Airport, which for the second consecutive year won the award for Best Airport in Latin America and the Caribbean in the 5 to 15 million passenger category, as well as Level 5 Accreditation in Customer Experience from the Airports Council International (ACI), the highest distinction in passenger experience.
With the publication of this report, AERIS reaffirms its commitment to continue strengthening transparent, innovative and sustainable airport management, aimed at generating value for Costa Rica and for all actors that are part of the airport ecosystem.
