The route will be given by a mixed fleet: B737-Max9, B737-900 and B737-800, with an average of 173 seats per flight.
This increase in frequencies will provide a greater range of connectivity for passengers visiting Guanacaste from Los Angeles, as well as for passengers from other cities on the west coast of the United States, who use LAX as their connection airport.
The increase in frequencies announced by Alaska is complemented by the operations provided by United, Delta and Jetblue for a total of 24 weekly flights from Los Angeles, and which is projected to have significant growth for this 2023-2024 high season.
“Currently Los Angeles represents the fourth market with the highest number of visits to Guanacaste. We are excited to see the consolidation of the destination on the West Coast of the United States, which is reflected in the revitalization of the market, the increase in frequencies to Guanacaste Airport and the economic development of the region. We continue to work with good route development practices within VINCI Airports that allow this destination to be connected with the main markets in the United States, Canada and Europe,” mentioned César Jaramillo, General Manager of Guanacaste Airport.
