The Avianca Group announced a new flight starting July 15th, operated by its Costa Rican subsidiary, between the cities of San José, C.R., (SJO) and Washington D.C. Dulles Airport. (IAD), with which the capitals of both countries will be united. Although it must also be said that this is in response to Volaris Costa Rica and El Salvador flights to serve markets in the US from San José and San Salvador.
In the city of Washington there is one of the largest communities of Costa Rican citizens outside their country, so Avianca will make 1,800 monthly seats available to them through 4 weekly direct flights to Costa Rica. With this flight they will add 13 direct international destinations to the capital of Costa Rica.

The Director of Sales for North America, Central America and the Caribbean of Avianca, Rolando Damas, commented: “Our purpose is to continue connecting Costa Ricans with the rest of the world and continue promoting tourism, attracting travelers from more destinations to the country. We are sure that, thanks to our competitive price offer and our extensive customization capacity, Costa Ricans and tourists will find in Avianca an unbeatable option for travel.”

The return flight will depart on Monday, Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday at 02:30 LT from Washington to land in the Costa Rican capital at 05:30.
