A New Era of Accessibility: MRLB Airport Welcomes Its First Ambulift

Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (MRLB) in Liberia has taken a significant step toward accessibility with the introduction of its first ambulift, thanks to Aerosphere Handling. This innovative equipment, the first owned by a ground handling company in Costa Rica, addresses long-standing challenges faced by passengers with mobility issues, particularly when disembarking planes parked on the ramp.

Previously, passengers with reduced mobility had limited options, often relying on manual assistance that lacked both safety and dignity. The ambulift now offers a secure, efficient, and respectful solution, enhancing the overall travel experience.

Making History at MRLB

On its inaugural day, the ambulift was used to assist a passenger arriving on a WestJet flight, marking an immediate and impactful improvement in service quality. Its compatibility with various aircraft and advanced design ensure seamless boarding and disembarkation for passengers with special needs.

A Commitment to Inclusivity

Aerosphere Handling’s investment reflects a dedication to inclusivity and operational excellence, setting a new standard for airports in Costa Rica and the region. The ambulift not only improves accessibility but also elevates MRLB’s reputation as a passenger-focused gateway to Costa Rica.

Looking Forward

This milestone is expected to inspire further advancements in accessibility across the region, reinforcing Aerosphere’s commitment to providing world-class services for all travelers.

The ambulift’s introduction is more than just an operational upgrade—it’s a symbol of progress, ensuring that every passenger can travel with dignity and ease.
