After the inauguration of the first direct flight Madrid - San José of the Spanish airline Air Comet, Costa Rica could receive 45 thousand more Spanish tourists in a year. “The company believes in the tourism potential towards Costa Rica.
In fact, we have invested to promote the country in European and Spanish markets with an initial result of 240 passengers’’, stated Luis Brenes, Manager of Air Comet for Costa Rica.
The airline expects to purchase 12 new airplanes in 2008, which will allow them to increase the number of flights towards their destinations in Latin America within a daily frequency.
“This is just the first step. We have come with the idea of staying. Our goal is to promote tourism in Latin America, where we see great opportunities, especially in Costa Rica,” emphasized Gustavo Camandule, Manager of Air Comet for America.
Air Comet is a ten-year experience airline that flies to different cities in Latin America with direct flights from Madrid to places like Lima and Buenos Aires. A few weeks ago it began flying to Havana, Cuba.
