A lot has happened at Tocumen International Airport since Tocumen S.A., a governmental-private-sector consortium took over the facility's management two years ago.
To date, remodeling works at Satellite B are finished, while works on Satellite A and at the terminal's main building are well on their way. Works include the addition of 20,830 square meters to the facility, to be allocated in new gates, internal circulation areas and commercial areas.

The remodeling of Tocumen International, the cost of which amounts to US$70 million, also calls for the instalation of new elevators, a modern baggage management system and the refurbishing of the roof and floors. Fifteen of the 22 state-of-the-art boarding tunnels are already installed.
Tocumen International Airport, Panama's main port of entry, was first inaugurated in 1947, although its present passenger terminal dates from the mid-1970's. It is located 20 km northeast of Panama City.
