By Guanacaste, Costa Rica — United Airlines, a leading carrier in global aviation, has announced the expansion of its flight services to Costa Rica, with four new weekly flights set to connect the United States and the Central American nation. Starting in December, the airline will increase the frequency of flights from its hubs in Houston, Texas, and Chicago, Illinois, to the Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport in Liberia, Guanacaste.
This strategic move by United Airlines comes as a response to the growing demand for travel to Costa Rica, particularly to the popular tourist destinations in the Guanacaste region. The new flights will provide greater access for travelers from the U.S., enhancing the connectivity between the two nations just in time for the high tourist season.
The introduction of these additional flights is a significant boost for our tourism sector. It not only underscores the confidence that United Airlines has in Costa Rica as a top destination but also provides more opportunities for American travelers to experience the natural beauty and rich culture of Guanacaste.
William Rodríguez López, Costa Rica’s Minister of Tourism
The new flights will operate as follows:
- Houston-Liberia: Two additional weekly flights will complement the existing service, increasing the total to seven flights per week.
- Chicago-Liberia: Two additional weekly flights will bring the total number of weekly flights to five.
This expansion highlights United Airlines’ commitment to meeting the travel needs of its customers while supporting the tourism industry in Costa Rica. The additional flights will enhance the options for both leisure and business travelers, contributing to the continued growth of the country’s economy.
In recent years, Costa Rica has emerged as a preferred destination for American tourists, thanks to its stunning beaches, diverse wildlife, and sustainable tourism practices.
United Airlines’ decision to increase its flight frequency aligns with the growing interest in eco-tourism and adventure travel that the region is known for.
Furthermore, the move is expected to strengthen the ties between Costa Rica and the United States, promoting bilateral tourism and economic exchanges. Local businesses, particularly those in the hospitality and tourism sectors, are expected to benefit significantly from the influx of visitors facilitated by these new flights.
