Costa Rica's Nature Air set to return to service
Nature Air was grounded on New Years Day 2018 following investigations into a crash. At the time, the Civil Aviation Authority in Costa Rica suspended the operating permit of Nature Air.
However, the airline announced in early 2019 that it was preparing to resume operations. The news comes after the settlement of a USD27 million insurance case against the airline. The case has closed without any further recourse to Nature Air.
