President Obama will be visiting Costa Rica from May 03-05, 2013 and a NOTAM has been issued prohibiting all General Aviation operations from May 03 to 05, 2013. At the present time, there are already US military transport aircraft flying into and out of MROC delivering equipment. Although it is not yet published, we also expect that the NOTAM will be extended to May 06 or May 07 as US military transport aircraft will be returning to MROC to pick up the vehicles etc. after the president's departure and significant disruptions are expected. Furthermore, it appears that the Blackhawk helicopters and other related aircraft related to President Obama's visit will be using the international General Aviation airport in San Jose- Pavas (MRPV) for parking as there is no parking space at MROC (this is published in a separate NOTAM). This will also restrict available ramp space at MRPV and additional NOTAM's may be possible.

If you are planning a trip to MROC or to MRPV from May 03 to May 07, 2013, you should take note of these activities/limitations and plan accordingly. If you have any questions or require more detail, please call us at 1-786-206-6147.
