Port Fight Escalates: Costa Rica’s Comptroller General has admitted ICTSI’s appeal over its exclusion from the Puerto Caldera terminal concession and ordered a five-business-day hearing, putting the award process under fresh scrutiny after INCOP left ICTSI out and handed the deal to the sole remaining bidder. Security & Travel: Juan Santamaría Airport briefly restricted access after an Interpol-linked alert about a suspicious vehicle, with operations later restored. Public Safety Politics: A precautionary measure was imposed on former presidential candidate Fabricio Alvarado in a sexual abuse case, banning contact with alleged victims and witnesses. Health Policy: Costa Rica approved a phased RSV vaccination plan for older adults, starting with those over 75. Local Spotlight: Juan Santamaría was named the best regional airport in Central America and the Caribbean in the Skytrax 2026 awards.
