El Salvador International Airport is the main base for the mobilization of people and cargo by air; through early and accurate recommendations from the Executive, its operations were temporarily suspended to avoid Covid-19 infection, thus saving the lives of thousands of salvadorans.

During the commercial closure, the airport was used to receive thousands of compatriots who were repatriated from different parts of the world and received under strict biosecurity norms; it was also the site of important donations that were added in the fight to defeat the coronavirus.

"Operations at the airport have already reached 70% to where we were in 2019, a year out of pandemic. We are seeing that recovery, it is a thermometer", expressed Federico Anliker, president of CEPA, during the television interview.
