SANSA operations changed from Tambor to Cobano airstrip

As an effort by SANSA to increasingly connect passengers with Santa Teresa, Montezuma, and Malpais, they have moved operations to Cobano airstrip, located just 20 minutes from Santa Teresa. This airport has the conditions to carry out its operation always with the highest safety standards. Cobano has a much wider and longer track than Tambor, which allows for greater use in terms of performance. The airport has a much larger ramp for the arrival of the aircraft, as well as an office that can serve customers with a series of amenities that make the check-in process and the wait much more pleasant. The official transfer to Cobano Airstrip was made last October 15, 2023.

It is important to take into consideration that the airstrip code will be COB (Cobano) instead of TMU (Tambor). The flight itineraries will be very similar since the flight time difference is very small from one another. Flights from other destinations such as Liberia will also be operated to Cobano, as is the case of Liberia – Cobano – Liberia.

Air France and KLM will increase to eleven their weekly flights between Europe and Costa Rica

Starting December 4, 2023, Air France will offer a daily flight between the international airports Juan Santamaria (San Jose) and Charles de Gaulle (Paris). On the other hand, KLM will operate four weekly seasonal flights that will link the Netherlands and Europe with the country, from October 29, 2023, to March 29, 2024. Thus, the Air France-KLM group will offer 11 weekly flights during the European winter. This is due to growing demand in recent months. In addition to Air France’s offer, KLM will operate a direct San Jose-Amsterdam-San Jose flight 4 times a week from the end of October to December. Starting in January and until the end of the season in March, the need to make a technical stop is studied.

Starting December 4, Air France will operate daily with the following schedule:

  • AF0431 Flight: Departing San José at 19:55 hrs. and arriving in Paris at 13:20 hrs. the next day.
  • AF0428 Flight: Departing Paris at 13:10 hrs. and arriving in San José at 17:50 hrs.
  • KLM will operate 4 weekly flights from October 29, 2023, at the following times:
  • KL0760 Flight: Departs San José at 19:35 hrs. and arrives in Amsterdam at 13:00 hrs. the next day.
  • KL0759 Flight: Departs in Amsterdam at 12:40 hrs. and arrives in San José at 17:25 hrs.
  • * Local times. Subject to change.

These airlines operate the San Jose route on modern aircraft with Wi-Fi connection for everyone and greater energy efficiency. The Air France A-350 offers optimal management of air quality, temperature, and humidity in the cabin environment. KLM’s Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner offers greater comfort to travelers thanks to its spacious cabin, comfortable seats, and 30% larger windows.
