A complaint heard frequently has been the lack of food options at the international airport. In fact it was one of the issues listed high on the list of needed changes for tourism in Panama. Now it looks like it is going to happen. Why has it taken so long? I would bet it was because of some entrenched "important people" who owned the existing concessions that did not want the competition. Machine translated from La Prenas.

The manager of the entity, Rafael Flores, said that staff is already working to "as soon as possible" take a tender.
The lack of restaurants at the airport is one of the major criticisms made by passengers from the terminal.
Until recently there were only two restaurants in the so-called Hub of the Americas, a terminal through which spent 4.5 million passengers in 2008.
Flores did not specify dates, but from the previous administration had adopted the objective that the facility was operating only with the opening the new airport terminal, the north pier.
It will be delivered tomorrow the order for Aerotocumen Colombian consortium to begin construction.
This work should be completed in 15 months, leading the start of operations early in 2011.
The tender for the food court will be led by the new airport management business, which has been assumed on an interim basis by Verna Dull following the departure of Erick Goldoni.
Along with John Marrone, the former manager of Legal, Goldoni has been one of the last managers of the past administration to abandon the institution.
