Frontier Airlines to Start Costa Rica Service
Frontier Airlines said Tuesday it will start service to Costa Rica in November, adding to its stable of international resort destinations. The U.S. Transportation Department has approved Frontier's route between Denver International Airport and Juan Santamaría (San José) International airport in Costa Rica. The Denver-based airline serves eight Mexican resort cities including Cancun and Puerto Vallarta as well as two cities in Canada. Service to San José will begin Nov. 30 with round-trip flights scheduled on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Frontier is the second-biggest airline at Denver's airport behind United Airlines, offering service to 58 destinations in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
"Frontier's entry into the U.S.-Costa Rica market will expand new service options available to the traveling public and will stimulate additional leisure travel," the Rocky Mountain News quoted the carrier as saying in its application. Frontier spokesman Joe Hodas says: "Costa Rica is a popular destination, and we've had great success in Mexico, so this would kind of just be the next logical step here."
