Many economists say that having a modern airport and frequented by large airlines in a country is a symbol of prosperity, success and economic development.

However, Latin America has left much to be desired in recent years, due to the reduction of air services, low variety of airlines, in addition to high costs, few airports and poor comfort for travelers.

In this regard, different studies and articles have been published such as “The Guide to Sleeping in Airports” that position several of the Latin airports as the worst in the world for travelers to make stops, spend the night, eat food, etc.

The impact of this type of items has been so great that several cities have begun to invest in their airports, being reflected in the positions they occupy in the listings that determine which airports are preferred by world travelers.
