Hello Nico, how cool that you do a report on the airport of the island where I live and work., but the downside of the friendly part sq n the hot season (December-May) we all complain because there is no ventilation and the passengers complain the most since they get on the planes completely wet from sweat, but from there all of us who work either in airlines or indirectly do our best because the passengers get the best impression and return
It is the disadvantage of an environmentally friendly airport.
It is nice to read your detailed report on air movement to and from San Cristobal. What I met is nothing like what you show . congratulations Nico. Good job and commitment to publicize details of the Insular territory.
Thank you dear Ignacio for your comment.
