Delta Airlines, a major U.S.-based airline headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, launched new flights between the U.S. and Costa Rica.


Beginning on Dec. 22, new flights will be enabled between the Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport (LIR), known as Guanacaste Airport with Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Hartsfield–Jackson International Airport (ATL) in Atlanta and Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) in Minneapolis.


Four Boeing 737-900 flights will depart every day from LIR to LAX at 8:30 a.m. Costa Rican time. 


Additionally, two Boeing 737-900 flights will depart daily from LIR to ATL at 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Costa Rican time respectively.





Also, four Boeing 737-800 flights will depart per week from LIR to MSP, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, at 3 p.m. Costa Rican time.

Delta Airlines is one of many airlines increasing the frequency of their flights to Costa Rica.  Recently, American Airlines launched new flights between the two Costa Rican international airports and Miami.


Tourism is one of the most important economic sectors in Costa Rica.   As of June, more than 1,338,000 tourists have visited the country.  The number marks a new record compared to the 1,336,000 visitors registered in the country in the same period in 2019, the year before the covid-19 pandemic.


Last year, about 2.3 million tourists visited the country. That is one million more visitors than in 2021.
