Haiti President Michel Martelly officially unveiled a series of
renovations at Port-au-Prince’s Toussaint Louverture International
Airport on Sunday, following his trip to Europe.
The renovations include major overhauls to the airport’s arrivals terminal.
The President, flanked by Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe and Tourism
Minister Stephanie Villedrouin, conducted a ribbon cutting ceremony,
which was accompanied by the unveiling of a ceremonial plaque.
The first phase includes renovations to a series of areas of the
airport, including the baggage claim, infirmary and the arrival
terminal.

“Modernization will help boost our relations with other countries in
the world as we integrate further into the global economic movement,”
Martelly said. “At the same time, it puts [this] operation up to the
standards of modern aviation.”

Thus far, over $6 million has been invested in the project, the
government said, with the second phase, which includes renovations of
the airport’s departures terminal, already underway.
