Four New Airlines To Fly to Costa Rica Inside Costa Rica Four new airlines have announced their plans to offer services in Costa Rica, while others like Delta Airlines will be offering more connections and more flights. Frontier Airlines, Air Caraibes, Air Sunwing and Air China, will all soon be offering service to and from Costa Rica. Frontier will begin service next month with direct flights from Denver. According to the vice-minister of Transportes, Viviana MartÃn, the airline will be making a request for operation permit this week. The French airline Air Caraibes has announced its first flight to Costa Rica fro December 11 with flights from Martinique and Guadalupe Island with direct connection to Paris and the rest of Europe. Canadian Air Sunwing is the third airline to apply to the Aviación Civil for permission to operate in Costa Rica, offering charter, cargo and mail services between Canada and Costa Rica. The company has not yet said when it will start operations. Air China, though it has not announced definite plans for flights to Costa Rica, did say it is studying the possibility. In a press conference in Hong Kong, the Chinese national airline, said Costa Rica is an option for flights to the Central American region and the Caribbean. The renewed diplomatic relations between the governments of Costa Rica and the Republic of China is the reason the airline is considering adding flights to Costa Rica, the airline said during the press statement. MartÃn and the minister of Tourism, Carlos Ricardo Benavides, added with the announcement of Air China, more asian airlines are considering Costa Rica, but did not disclose the names of the airlines, preferring to wait until the negotiations are complete. In addition to the new airlines, Richard Anderson, president of Delta Airlines, announced plans for expantion in Latin America. As part of the expantion, Delta wil be adding flights from New York to San José and Liberia beginning next February. Other airlines now serving Costa Rica have been rumoured to be considering adding more flights and more destinations. Alvaro Conejo, of the Cámara de Turismo (Toursim Chamber) said that, in general, the added competition should lower ticket prices. Earlier this year, the British airline, First Choice Airways, began operations between London's Gatwick and Liberia, becoming the first direct Tran Atlantic flight to and from Guancaste, and Air Comet began operations between Madrid, Spain and San José. |

Yes TonyTC, it would save a little time. But I'm curious to see what type of flight schedule that AA is going to offer from Ft. Lauderdale to SJO. Either way, competition is good! MG

MG I think they told me just one flight daily plus now daily remote parking at FLL has gone up to $9 from $6 so MIA may still be the way to go. |

Hey, the addition of China Air will open up the far east at a reasonable price for those of you expats who want to get away/make a border run to the far east… Now you may have a reasonable option to visit LOS, PI, and China
