American would become the second major U.S. airline to take advantage of loosened restriction on travel between the two longtime enemies, after JetBlue launched direct charter flights between New York and Havana last month.
The airline made the announcement via its Twitter account in response to several queries posed by users of the social media site. The Tico Times confirmed the announcement with the airline’s media office.
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.
