Volaris looking to expand South American route network with Volaris Costa Rica
Mexican carrier Volaris is looking to add more South American routes to its route network through its subsidiary airline Volaris Costa Rica. Volaris Costa Rica is based at Juan Sanatamaría International Airport and offers international flights, but is yet to touch base in South America. Commercial Director Manuel Jaquez has expressed the airlines' interest in having the subsidiary airline fly to South American countries from San Jose but won't reveal exactly which destinations it wants to target. To help operate these new routes, Volaris Costa Rica is looking to add at least two new aircraft, which would add to its fleet of Airbus aircraft.
