Six domestic airports as well as the Daniel Oduber International Airport will undergo repairs and renovations in order to boost internal flight options for locals and tourists.

The Costa Rican Civil Aviation Technical Counsel (CTAC) has just authorized a budget of $20 million to be used in runway repair as well as put up perimeter fences.  The airports in Nosara (Nicoya, Guanacaste), Puerto Jimenez (Golfito), Pasrismina and Tortuguero (both in Limon), will soon have new concrete runways.

In addition, these airports were lacking perimeter fences which allowed pedestrians and stray animals to wander on the runway.  In order to reduce any potential danger to both the aircrafts and people or animals on the runway, the budget will allow for fences to be placed at these before mentioned airports.

San Jose’s busiest domestic airport in Pavas, the Tobias Bolaños, will undergo runway repair as a new coat of asphalt is being laid down.

The airport in Limon will also have new landing lights installed as well as new landing zone access points.

According to Costa Rica’s Minister of Transportation, Viviana Martin, all works at these airports will be finished by November.

In addition to airport repairs, 6 new firefighter units will arrive around October to be distributed to several airports.
