Adventure Air, a leading on-demand flights provider based in Costa Rica, has proudly announced the expansion of its fleet with two new aircraft: the Robinson R44 Clipper II helicopter and the Piper Navajo 310. This exciting development will allow Adventure Air to offer faster and more versatile travel options for passengers, further improving its reach both within Costa Rica and to new international destinations.
"The addition of these aircraft is a game changer for Adventure Air and our valued customers. With the Piper Navajo 310, we are now able to reach new destinations more quickly and efficiently, while the R44 helicopter will give us the flexibility to land in areas that would otherwise be inaccessible by plane," said Kenneth Roqhuett, general manager of Adventure Air. "Our commitment to providing safe, reliable and tailored air travel experiences has never been stronger."
The Piper Navajo 310, a twin-engine aircraft designed by Piper Aircraft, can carry up to seven passengers and a maximum payload of 1,200 lbs (550kg). With the Piper Navajo 310, Adventure Air will be able to provide faster travel to popular international destinations such as Roatán in Honduras with a direct two hour flight and Bocas del Toro in Panama. Bocas is already part of the company's route offerings but will now be served more efficiently due to the aircraft's superior speed and capacity. Additionally, the Piper Navajo can reach other destinations across Central and South America, including flying direct to some destinations in Mexico and Colombia.
Manufactured by Robinson Helicopter Company, the Robinson R44 Clipper II can accommodate up to three passengers or two passengers plus luggage, with a maximum payload of 550 lbs (250 kg). This versatile helicopter will primarily serve scenic tours and travel to remote, hard-to-reach destinations without airports. Its ability to land in remote areas makes it perfect for exploring Costa Rica's rich biodiversity and natural wonders, offering travellers a unique and memorable way to reach their destinations.
As demand for private flights continues to grow, especially during the high season, both the Piper Navajo 310 and Robinson R44 Clipper II will operate at full capacity. Adventure Air expects to conduct daily flights to numerous destinations, offering unparalleled convenience and service to its passengers.
The Piper Navajo 310 will be fully operational by December 2024, just ahead of the busy holiday season. The Robinson R44 Clipper II will begin operations in early 2025, providing scenic helicopter tours and transportation to remote locations. Reservations for both aircraft can already be made on the Adventure Air website or through the company's reservations team.
Although Adventure Air does not yet have a formal loyalty programme, frequent travellers can enjoy exclusive discounts when booking multiple flights. Businesses and individuals who regularly choose Adventure Air for their transportation needs will benefit from these cost-saving offers.
