Founded in 2017, Skyway Costa Rica, also known as Skyway CR, is a Costa Rican airline that operates scheduled passenger services primarily throughout Costa Rica, plus an additional international service to Panama. Skyway Costa Rica is based at Juan Santamaría International Airport and flies to a total of nine destinations, excluding charter services.
The airline launched in 2017, operating as a charter-only airline. However, in mid-2018, the airline announced its intentions to fly scheduled passenger service from Juan Santamaría International. Upon the announcement, Skyway CR named Puerto Jimenez and Drake Bay as two focus destinations. Shortly after the announcement to operate scheduled passenger services, Skyway Costa Rica took in two Let L-410UVP-E20 aircraft, which were brought in specifically to operate the new routes.
In October 2018, SkyWay Costa Rica flew its first commercial passenger service, with a flight to Puerto Jiménez. In the same month, it launched services to Drake Bay, Quepos, Arenal and Liberia/Tamarindo and its first international service to Bocas del Toro, Panama. Today, Skyway CR continues to add more destinations to its route network as its plans to cover Costa Rica and the surrounding region develops.
As well as scheduled passenger and charter flights, Skyway Costa Rica also offers helicopter services, taxi services and car hire within Costa Rica.
