The Daniel Oduber-Quiros International Airport (LIR), also known as Guanacaste Airport, will remains closed from Friday Nov. 15 to Saturday Nov. 16  for runway maintenance.



Coriport, the company in charge of airport maintenance and repairs, announced on Friday that the country's northernmost busy air terminal will remain closed from Friday at 6 a.m. to Saturday at 8 p.m.



As of Friday, the operational interruption affected about 36 flights. Most flights were canceled, such as Alaska airlines, Air Canada, American Airlines and United Airlines among others. Some of them were set to land at Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in Alajuela Province.



The firm warns passengers not to head to the airport since it is closed.
