The most affordable charter flight is from San Jose, as Green Airways/Carbon Air has its home base at this domestic airport. This allows them to depart directly from there without needing to fly empty on two legs. This is not the case if they pick up the group from a different airport.

When you arrive from your international flight, it’s only a few hundred meters to this terminal, making it very convenient.

Flying on your own charter is not just as convenient as having your own shuttle bus, and it’s far more enjoyable. Plus, you’ll only need about 45 minutes of travel time from San Jose.

How Do Airlines Address Sustainability and Protecting the Green Environment?

Maintaining a green environment is crucial. You might be wondering how airlines contribute to sustainability. Green Airways has a comprehensive program to support their environmental commitment. For example, they plant a tree for every passenger who flies with them.

Additionally, it’s clear that a short flight has a smaller environmental impact compared to long road trips with polluting trucks stuck in traffic jams. Reducing road traffic is beneficial for the environment.

Fortunately, the Costa Rican government enforces strict policies to protect its natural beauty, which is one of the many reasons we deeply value this country.
