AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Aviation Boost: Lufthansa is adding capacity on the Costa Rica–Frankfurt route, moving from 3 to 5 weekly flights in the 2026–2027 winter season (Oct. 25, 2026–Mar. 27, 2027) and upgrading to the Boeing 787-9 with its new Allegris cabin. Tourism Momentum: The latest ICT figures point to a strong rebound—2025 ended with 2.69 million air arrivals and 2026 is starting even faster, with the first quarter hitting 959,738 visitors (+12.9% year-on-year). Trade Tension: President Laura Fernández has escalated her dispute with Panama, calling the restrictions a “trade blockade” and directing her foreign minister to pursue “international actions” over blocked dairy, meat and fruit exports. Household Pressure: Even with GDP growth, the Central Bank says real and nominal household income momentum is weakening. Scam Warning: Police and road-safety agencies are warning about Transito/Cosevi phishing texts that push fake ticket-payment links—don’t click.
