The impact to general aviation from the planned visit of President Obama to Costa Rica continues to grow. Today we were advised that ALL General Aviation (GA) flights will be prohibited in San Jose, Costa Rica during President Obama's visit.

GA flights at the San Jose-Santamaria airport (MROC) will be prohibited from May 03 to 05 and flights will be prohibited at the San Jose-Pavas airport (MRPV) from May 03 to 04, 2013. Although not yet official, we expect additional restrictions and disruptions to General Aviation flights to Costa Rica during this time period.

It is very disappointing to see that ALL General Aviation aircraft of Costa Rica or foreign registry will be completely blocked from the capital of Costa Rica with no recourse or special procedure to facilitate their travel.

If you are planning a flight to Costa Rica during, or near, these dates, you should review your itineraries to avoid disruptions to your travel plans. If you have any questions or require assistance, please contact us at 1-786-206-6147.
