Volaris Costa Rica to launch US routes in March 2018

Ultra LCC Volaris Costa Rica was granted a foreign air carrier permit by the US DoT Dec 19, opening the Central American subsidiary of Mexico City-based ULCC Volaris to begin flights to the US. Volaris Costa Rica plans to launch round-trip flights to the US March 15, 2018, and has already initiated sales of 4 routes from San Jose, Costa Rica to Los Angeles International Airport, New York JFK and Washington Dulles. All of the proposed US flights are pending govt approval. None of the routes will be direct from Costa Rica, however. Volaris Costa Rica launched operations in Dec 2016, and according to CE Fernando Naranjo, planned to operate between 18 and 22 aircraft during its first 3 years. <br/>
