The increase in flights will be implemented to gradually lessen the severe blow dealt to tourism.

After enabling flights originating from some states of the United States, the Costa Rican Tourism Institute (ICT) confirmed that for the second week of September, there will be a new increase in flights coming from North America.

The country will have an increase of up to 15 flights per week from the United States, with a possibility of increasing to 18 weekly flights in October.

The General Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGAC) provided information on an increase in flights from some airlines; for example, United Airlines will fly daily from Houston, Texas, to Juan Santamaría International Airport in the city of Alajuela.

But it will also do so three times a week (Thursday, Saturday and Sunday) to the Daniel Oduber airport terminal in Liberia, with a possible increase for the month of October.

For that month, United Airlines will also add flights from Colorado, Newark, and New Jersey, with flights to Juan Santamaría Airport four times a week to Newark and to Daniel Oduber Airport in Liberia once a week .

American Airlines has also confirmed five weekly flights from Miami and Florida to Liberia and one weekly flight from Dallas, Texas. Delta Airlines also plans to operate flights from Atlanta and Georgia to the Liberian airport.
