Flying between Costa Rica’s volcanoes, coastlines and forest reserves has never been simpler—or faster. A short hop with Costa Rica Green Airways (CRGA) can turn a six‑hour drive from San José to Santa Teresa into a 40‑minute scenic flight, giving you more time on the beach and less time on the road.

Why Choose Domestic Flights with Costa  Rica  Green  Airways?

Intro: Not all domestic flights Costa Rica offers are the same; choosing the right airline determines how stress‑free, sustainable and time‑efficient your journey will be.

• Deliver spectacular views—spot volcano cones, winding rivers and whale‑dotted coastlines from your window.
• Provide schedule flexibility—early‑morning and mid‑afternoon departures let you surf at dawn and photograph macaws at sunset the same day.
• Guarantee proven safety—CRGA is the country’s only airline awarded ARGUS Gold safety certification (Argus International), meeting rigorous international audit standards.
