The project aims to restore the airport terminal to its pre-hurricane capacity of 2.5 million passengers per year. It also uses ‘building back better principles’
to strengthen resilience to future extreme weather events, thereby supporting continuity of services for an airport that is a critical link for regional transportation,”
said Tahseen Sayed, World Bank Country Director for the Caribbean
.
“I’m very pleased with the signing of the agreements of the World Bank and the European Investment Bank for the financing of the reconstruction of Princess Juliana International Airport. Tourism is the backbone of Sint Maarten’s economy, so restoring the full capacity of the airport is of vital importance to the economic recovery and development of our country,”
said Prime Minister of Sint Maarten Silveria Jacobs.
