Starting October 27, Interjet Airlines will increase its flights between San Salvador and the U.S. capital, reaching 14 weekly frequencies.
Representatives of the airline confirmed that with the increase in frequencies, passengers will be able to choose between morning and afternoon schedules, flights that will be operated on a daily basis.
Salvadoran authorities reported that the Mexican Interjet is managing licenses to make flights between the two countries, and is expected to start operations in December.
According to representatives of the Civil Aviation Authority of El Salvador (AAC), the Mexican airline plans to make flights once granted the permission of Foreign Air Operator.
Regarding the permit management, the director president of the AAC, René López, explained to Elsalvador.com that the airline already requested the "... permission to start selling tickets, starting to operate in December. They are already closing the whole process with us."
Starting from July 1st the airline Interjet will operate an additional daily route between Mexico and San Jose.
From a statement issued by the Costa Rican Tourism Institute (ICT):
San Jose, Costa Rica on June 11, 2015. Thanks to the success of the daily frequency on the Mexico-San Jose-Mexico route which Interjet is offering, from July 1 airline customers can enjoy the start of a second frequency; resulting in a wider range of options for traveling to and from this destination and an increase of air connectivity between the two countries.
On June 1, the Mexican airline Interjet airline will add a second daily frequency between the capitals of Mexico and Guatemala.
The airline said the new frequency will fly on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, departing from the international airport of Mexico City, and from June 23 it will also operate a flight on Tuesdays and Fridays.
The proportion of passengers using low-cost carriers to pass through the airports of San Jose and Liberia increased from 9% in 2011 to 13% in 2014.
There are about 10 'low cost' airlines which regularly operate in the country, however in peak tourist season the number increases, especially at the airport in Liberia. The arrival of these companies has generated a great deal of competition for conventional airlines, with regard to fares.
In the first three months of 2012 the number of travelers increased by 8%, while airlines operating at La Aurora Airport increased the frequency of their flights.
Statistical data from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation shows that the companies Copa, United, Aeromexico, Iberia and Interjet have increased their flights to and from La Aurora Airport from 36 daily flights to 48.
Thank you Interjet and Aeromexico for making it possible to buy a ticket without feeling like you have been robbed at gunpoint.
As was the case in other Central American countries with the opening of flights operated by companies outside of the isthmus, in Costa Rica, airline ticket prices for flights from San Jose to Mexico City have fallen by 60%.
The new daily flight by Mexican company Interjet between the two capitals will increase competition and will certainly contribute to reasonable rates being applied on this route.
The Mexican low-cost online Interjet aims to fly once a day between Mexico City and San Jose, Costa Rica, with an Airbus A320 craft for 150 passengers.
The information was confirmed by Luis Carlos Araya, vice minister for Air Transport.
Being the sole operator of the Guatemala - Mexico route, TACA was able to charge more than $700 a ticket. Now that Aeromexico and Interjet have arrived, prices have fallen to less than half that price.
Last week the Mexican low-cost airline Interjet announced two daily flights between Guatemala City and Mexico City from July, with rates from $249 roundtrip including taxes.
The low-cost Mexican airline, Interjet, will resume flights between the two capitals.
From July Guatemalans will have a new alternative to fly to Mexico when the low-cost airline resumes the regular schedule initiated in November 2007 but which had to be suspended seven months later.
High fuel costs and the decision to use Toluca airport as a destination in Mexico, were two of the reasons for the termination of the schedule.
