The launch in San Jose this week of the ultra low cost airline Volaris Costa Rica, with a presence in Mexico, the United States and Central America, who will begin operating next month with a San Jose, Costa Rica -Guatemala City (Guatemala) route, confirms how activated the business of commercial aviation in Central America has become.
In a growing market, 16 commercial air companies operate an average of four to five corporate flights a day.
Providing a flight with value added services, such as alliances with hotels and transport services in the areas surrounding airports is one of the elements with which airlines that offer charter flights to businesses and tourists are aiming to differentiate themselves.
The Salvadoran airline Veca has announced that as of February 25th it will begin operating three flights per week between San Salvador and Juan Santamaria Airport in San Jose.
From a statement issued by Vuelos Económicos Centroamericanos:
VECA Airlines with the aim of integrating Central America and expanding opportunities for everyone to fly, will be starting operations, from February 25, between the cities of San Salvador and San José, Costa Rica; the direct flights will be operated on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
The airline of Salvadoran origin VECA Airlines, which announced in November promotions for their first flights in the region, is not yet operating at 100%.
The airline Vuelos Económicos Centroamericanos (VECA) has not yet started to operate the routes announced in November and has not taken steps to expand its flights to destinations in the United States.
Air Costa Rica has started the process of gaining certification as an international operator and plans to begin charter flights in six months.
Air Costa Rica is the new brand name of Tica Air according to the Public Registry of the airline, which has launched the second phase of a certification process and expects to receive approval from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation within four to six months to operate as international airline.
The elimination of LACSA routes, which in 2013 changed hands to Avianca, partly explains the reduction in landings and takeoffs at the two main airports compared to 2012.
In 2013 76.287 landings and takeoffs were recorded in the two major international airports in the country, while in 2012 this figure was 80.007, according to the National Directorate of Civil Aviation.
Ticas International Airlines has filed an application with the Civil Aviation authority for approval to operate charter flights to Cancun and San Andrés.
The information was confirmed by the director of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, Alvaro Vargas, adding that it is likely that an agreement will be reached with representatives of Ticas International Airlines, due to the interest shown.
