Air Panama will begin offering flights between San Jose, Costa Rica and one of Panama’s most popular tourist destinations, Bocas del Toro beginning on October 1st, the company has announced.
The flights are expected to be on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, an airline representative based in San Jose told ICR News, though pricing and schedule will not be officially announced until Monday.
The flight will reportedly include a brief stopover in David, Panama.
Currently, only Costa Rica’s Nature Air provides service between Costa Rica and Bocas del Toro.
In related news, Air Costa Rica, which is actually a joint venture with Air Panama, successfully concluded the certification process to become an official air carrier earlier this month.
Air Costa Rica plans to offer daily direct flights from San Jose’s Juan Santamaria International Airport to Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Nicaragua and Guatemala by the end of the year.
