It took just over 1 month and 5 days for the terminal to receive its first international trip since the controlled reopening of the air borders was decreed. This is due to the limited number of countries that the Ministry of Health has authorized to fly to Costa Rica. Although it has been announced by the authorities that it will gradually increase both the frequency of destinations and flights, pending a periodic review of the Pandemic`s behavior globally.
