Flying private from San José to David

Why fly private from San José to David?

The San José–David corridor connects Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) with Enrique Malek International Airport (DAV). By road the journey runs to hours — often across mountainous or unpaved interior. An AeroRide private charter covers it in 63 min, gate to gate, on the schedule you choose rather than a fixed timetable.

The whole aircraft is $2,570 — that price already includes the round-trip positioning of the aircraft, FBO access at both ends, meet-and-greet coordination and all luggage handling. With 12 aboard that is about $214 each. No commercial queues, no check-in counters, no gate lines.
