History

Founded 17 October 1945 as Líneas Aéreas Costarricenses (LACSA), Costa Rica's flag carrier began flying Douglas DC-3s in 1946 and was formally designated the national carrier in 1949. After Avianca's 2013 acquisition of Grupo TACA, LACSA was rebranded Avianca Costa Rica while retaining its LR/LRC codes.

Current Operations

As Avianca Costa Rica it flies an all-Airbus A320-family fleet from its Juan Santamaría (San José) hub to roughly 20 destinations across Central, North and South America as part of the Avianca Group, with Star Alliance codeshare/affiliate benefits.
