KLM is set to start flying non-stop between Amsterdam (AMS) and San José, Costa Rica (SJO), at the end of October.
The carrier currently offers a one-stop flight to San Jose via Panama (PTY), with the Panama–San José leg operated by Copa Airlines through a codeshare agreement. KLM said, “the increasing interest of the European market” in flights to Costa Rica led to the move to start flying directly to San Jose.
Flights will run on Tuesday and Friday, departing Amsterdam at 3:25 p.m. and arriving into San José at 8:05 p.m. The return leg will leave the Costa Rican capital at 10:05 p.m., landing back in Amsterdam at 3:10 p.m. the following day.
The route will be served by KLM’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, which offers 30 World Business Class seats, 219 economy and 45 Economy Comfort.
“This new flight, not only will facilitate visits to our country, but also thanks to KLM´s global network, this route will serve as a liaison for Costa Rica to open its doors to tourists from all Europe,” said Luis Guillermo Solis, president of Costa Rica, KLM. “This will for sure strengthen tourism in our country, generating benefits to the more than 600,000 persons who work in this activity in direct and indirect manner, and to the communities that find in tourism their opportunity to grow.”
