“Brazil is a giant market with a very high potential; and that is why we have worked intensely to secure this route, this direct air connection was an essential priority and we will be able to attract Brazilian tourists with non-stop flights starting November 12, 2024, offer them the wonders of Costa Rica, particularly surfing, the volcanoes, and with it the connection with nature, with our traditions and with our people, with the undoubted benefit that this will represent for the communities that make a living from tourism,” said William Rodríguez, Minister of Tourism.
Currently, flights connecting San Jose and Brazil are typically on Copa Airlines (via Panama), Avianca (via Bogotá), LATAM (via Lima) or Arajet (via Santo Domingo).
GOL was founded in 2001 with the purpose of “Being First for All”, to increasingly integrate the countries of the region, promoting tourism in the Americas and business travel. Since its founding and in its 23 years of history, the company has contributed enormously to democratizing access to air transport in Brazil and throughout the region. GOL is Brazil’s main airline and is part of the Abra Group. The company maintains alliances with American Airlines and Air France-KLM, and offers customers various codeshare and interline agreements, providing more convenience and ease in connections to any location served by these partnerships.
