Alaska Airlines began operations in Costa Rica through the company, Karika International.
The company opened offices to make it easier for the local market and travel agencies to access new destinations.
Services in Costa Rica will focus on ticket sales, fare information, itineraries, and travel assistance.
We are the Sales Agent and we link airlines that operate in Costa Rica with Alaska Airlines at the primary connecting points like Mexico, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Denver, and San Francisco,� said Rodrigo Troyo, General Manager of Karika International.
The opening of the offices here is expected to open new markets from the United States to Costa Rica, and vice versa.
Although the airline still doesn�t fly to the country, it offers options for connecting to the west coast and the northern United States as well as Canada.
Alaska Airlines is the ninth largest airline in the United States. Its 114 Boeing aircrafts carry more than 17 million passengers, annually.
