The Terminal

The construction and repair works at Guayaquil Airport began on August 31, 2004. TAGSA contracted the company Ekron Construcciones S.A. to carry out the project. During the planning phase, the Guayaquil Airport Authority (AAG) conducted a technical/operational audit by hiring consultants from IATA and ICAO, who recommended the unification of the International and Domestic Terminals into a single two-story building. The construction covered approximately 50,000 square meters, with an investment of USD 90 million.

The New José Joaquín de Olmedo Airport was inaugurated on the previously agreed date, fulfilling the terms of the concession contract, on July 27, 2006.

In July 2014, the formal delivery of the expansion of the Domestic Terminal at Guayaquil Airport was completed, increasing the total terminal area to approximately 60,000 square meters.
