New flights announced recently show that airlines are interested in participating in the Costa Rican travel market, especially in routes within the region.
Air carrier group Viva will expand its operations in the region with the opening of a low-cost airline that will offer regional flights out of Costa Rica.
Costa Rica-based airline SANSA inaugurated this week a new route from the Juan Santamaría International Airport outside of San José to the Limón Airport on the Caribbean coast. The airline uses Cessna Grand Caravan 208B airplanes with a capacity of 12 passengers for a 40-minute flight.
