Following the example of Panama, attracting new airlines in Costa Rica has had a positive impact on the number of tourists coming into the country.
Improving a country's air connectivity is the main recipe for increasing the influx of visitors and improving the country's ranking as a destination for tourism.

The airline has announced it will initiate flights to Daniel Oduber International Airport in February 2011.
In a press release the carrier indicated that its first flight of the year will be on 13 February and the last on 21 August with one per week.
