In our latest analysis, we’re turning our attention to Central America, specifically Costa Rica. This year, Costa Rica aims to fully recover its number of tourist arrivals to pre-pandemic levels. Inspired by this ambitious goal, we took a closer look at the potential for new direct flights to Juan Santamaria International Airport (operated by Grupo CCR).
Using aviation market data from BEONTRA’s Route Forecasting solution, we examined the O&D demand for currently unserved routes. The results are intriguing!
Highlighted Unserved Routes to San José:
Heathrow, UK – Leading the top 10 with more than 80,000 passengers annually, yet no direct flight exists. Imagine the boost in tourism and business travel with a direct link between these two vibrant cities!
San Francisco International Airport, USA – The largest unserved North American market, connecting the tech hub of Silicon Valley with the natural beauty and rich culture of Costa Rica could foster significant economic and touristic exchanges.
Buenos Aires, Argentina – As the largest unserved market in South America, a direct flight would enhance connectivity and strengthen ties between these two dynamic regions.
We’re excited to see which airlines will recognize and capitalize on these opportunities. The potential for growth and enhanced connectivity seems immense.
