ACI World has highlighted the need for aviation infrastructure to mirror its demand from air services and passengers alike.

Gittens said: “Many airports are near, at, or even exceeding capacity which is causing congestion, affecting levels of service and frustrating demand. Latest ACI World data shows that, in 2018, Panama experienced a four per cent growth and welcomed more than 16 million passengers. Air service demand in Panama is forecasted to reach close to 40 million passengers by 2032 based on a compound annual growth rate of 6.5 per cent.
