The project wasn’t one of Odebrecht Construction’s biggest, but the Coral Gables, Fla.-based contractor’s sense of pride couldn’t have been higher after it completed repairs at Haiti’s Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince, enabling commercial carriers to resume service to and from Haiti’s capital beginning Feb. 19.
Representatives of Dallas-based American Airlines and Odebrecht toured the devastated city four days after the Jan. 12 earthquake. According to Odebrecht, the contractor immediately assembled a team to repair and rebuild the airport’s commercial terminal. The contractor is currently working at Miami International Airport’s North Terminal, where American Airlines is the primary carrier.
