During a visit to France, Mulino expressed his intention to make a decision on this matter. The Tocumen International Airport is key for the air connectivity of Panama and the region, so any decision regarding its concession will have a significant impact both locally and internationally.

He highlighted that various proposals are being evaluated and that the decision will be made to best promote the development of airport infrastructure in Panama.

In this regard, the president stressed the importance of ensuring that any concession agreement includes safeguards to protect the interests of the State and its citizens. Mulino stated that work is being done on a detailed analysis of the proposals received and that a decision is expected to be made in the near future.
