Passengers on American Airlines flight to Miami, Florida were the first to open the brand new Daniel Oduber airport facilities, at 6:50 am on Thursday, a new gate to access the country and enjoy your travel vacations.

The tourists were quite surprised because they did enter the country by the old terminal and exited via the new one.

The shops at the airport are operating regularly, as well as immigration services. “Coriport S.A. is working with government organizations to ensure that the new terminal meets all technical and contractual requirements” according to Francisco Cordero, general manager of Coriport S.A.

The first airplane that landed at the terminal was a Nature Air local plane at 07:00 coming from Pavas Airport in San Jose.

The new terminal investment was around $ 35 million. The terminal is managed by Coriport consortium, in concession for 25 years. It is a new way to get to this beautiful country, ready to be included in your vacation package deals.

According to Costa Rican Tourism Board 225,224 passengers arrived at Liberia’s airport on 2010. Back in November 2011, only eight international and two domestic airlines operated out of the previous terminal, which accommodated only about 900 passengers at the same time.

Guanacaste and especially Liberia have become the most visited places in Costa Rica for celebrities and millionaires. The beaches and the costa rica vacation house rental are amazing to have a great time in this piece of paradise.

Madam President, Laura Chinchilla was the main public character at this historical launch event this Thursday, next to many government and tourism representatives.
