Another business jet flight, this time to the busiest airport in Costa Rica. Juan Santamaría International Airport is a hub for both commercial and corporate aviation in Central America, with scheduled intercontinental service to Europe in addition to extensive flights to the United States, Canada, and South America. On the business side of things, the west side of the airport is a parking lot for Citations, Lears, Hawkers, Falcons, Globals, Challengers, Legacies, Praetors, and Gulfstreams. As a consequence, Challenger 350s like ours constitute a decent part of the daily traffic flow.
