“One of the most important strategic actions undertaken by the ICT (Tourism Board) is the consolidation, expansion, or search for new air routes to Costa Rica. From this perspective, we are pleased to announce that KLM, a long-standing European airline, will fly five times a week starting next season, expanding connectivity to the Netherlands and all related connections from Amsterdam Airport. For us, the country, and its travelers, this is excellent news, and I thank KLM for their trust in our country,” emphasized William Rodríguez, Minister of Tourism.
Netherlands, a market with high potential
The Netherlands is currently the fifth-largest source market for European tourists to Costa Rica.
According to the most recent data from the ICT, during the first three months of 2025, 10,370 tourists arrived from the Netherlands, and a cumulative total of 158,842 travelers arrived from Europe by air. During the 2024 period, a total of 428,637 tourists from Europe were recorded.
This announcement is in addition to the increase in frequencies made at the beginning of April by Air France, which will fly twice daily—Mondays and Saturdays—from December 15, 2025, to January 11, 2026, and from February 9, 2026, to March 15, 2026, the first time a European airline will operate nine weekly flights to Costa Rica.
