Guanacaste Airport Overhauls Operations with Digital Integration

The transition replaces legacy spreadsheets and disconnected systems with a centralized digital infrastructure. By implementing SkyCore AODB for flight data and Allegra RMS for resource planning, the airport has shifted toward machine-learning-driven operations. These tools allow ground staff and planners to work from a single source of truth, reducing manual entry and improving decision-making speed.

Operational upgrades began in early 2025 with the deployment of flight management tools, followed by the installation of VisionAir FIDS in March to synchronize terminal displays. The final piece, the Airport Community App, launched in December 2025 to streamline communication across ground teams. According to COO Lizeth Valverde, the suite was chosen specifically to handle increasing traffic while maintaining efficiency. Rares Tudor Ignatescu, product manager at AirportLabs, noted that the deployment provides the visibility necessary to resolve ground-level issues rapidly. This modernization effort supports the airport’s long-standing status as a primary gateway for tourism in Costa Rica, helping the facility manage growth while maintaining its existing service standards.
