If you look back here, you will see several notes. I would estimate around 10 days ago, they finally started doing the work on the roof and they said at that time it would take until this fall, approximately, just to re-do the roof. Then, once it is weatherproof, then they can start work inside. It will be a very long time.

Would like to return in the late fall but really don't want to deal with 2 hours or more, in a hot tent, waiting to depart. Any information available on this?

When we landed last Saturday, we pulled up to the gate and walked thru the end(refrigeration) area of the airport, then onto tents. No airconditioning at that time, but very quick to get thru as only 1 plane at a time.
I agree. Was very quick and orderly. More flights at the same time may be a problem.

One of the reasons more flights are not coming, they can't handle them yet.

Did you have checked luggage or carry-on? Wonder how that's being handled.

Friends arrived yesterday. Said it was the best immigration experience ever. 15 minutes from deplaning to out the door.
