Why should you care that a small airport terminal in Central America is about to get larger? Well, U.S. tourists – lots of them – fly through there.
Tico Times reports that Liberia, Costa Rica’s new terminal, will handle up to 1,500 passengers. Formerly the capacity was 900. Right now lines are long, and waiting areas cramped. The new facility will sport a food court, a pair of boarding areas, and a new sports bar. It will cost some $27 million, and is due to open this November.
The demand is certainly there for an upgraded airport and with
Costa Rica real estate on the rise, this can only get better. According to OAG there are eight nonstop routes from the United States to the Central American vacation spot. Delta offers nonstop Atlanta flights to Liberia. US Airways fields Saturday-only Charlotte flights to Liberia. United Airlines lofts Saturday-only Chicago flights to Liberia. American Airlines offers weekend Dallas/Fort Worth flights to Liberia. Frontier Airlines operates Sunday-only Denver flights to Liberia. American offers Miami flights to Liberia in
Guanacaste, and Continental Airlines offers New York/Newark flights to Liberia.
