“In 2006, Costa Rica had a single indirect flight to Europe, and today, there are eight airlines offering flights between the old continent and Costa Rica.”
Officials from Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO), the country’s largest international terminal, reported normal operations on Thursday, although two airlines opted to delay flights on Thursday morning.
Starting April 19, Costa Rica's Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) will enforce the same restrictions on liquids in carry-on luggage as at United States airports.
The plane, carrying 144 mainly Spanish and German passengers -- including two babies -- and six crew, was traveling from Barcelona to the western German city of Duesseldorf when it came down.
Passengers on the three airlines leaving Costa Rica after June 14 will have the exit tax already included in the ticket price. Avianca passengers will still have to pay their exit tax separately.
