Tobías Bolaños International Airport — San Jose, Costa Rica

Tobías Bolaños International Airport, coded SYQ, is located in Pavas, a district of San José, Costa Rica, and serves primarily as a hub for general aviation, domestic flights, and air taxi operations rather than large international carriers. Despite its international designation, the airport mainly handles smaller aircraft bound for coastal and rural destinations across Costa Rica, including popular tourist areas along the Pacific coast. SYQ is a key departure point for charter flights to beach towns and eco-tourism lodges, making it especially popular among travelers seeking quicker access than driving from the capital. The airport also supports flight schools, private aviation, and helicopter services. Its central location within San José makes it more convenient for domestic travel than the larger Juan Santamaría International Airport.
