About Nature Air
As of 2022, Nature Air is no longer operating. Nature Air temporarily ceased operations in enero 2018 but its operating licence was indefinitely suspended by the civil aviation authority of Costa Rica in mayo 2018. The civil aviation authority of Costa Rica states that the airline had a lack of aircraft in its fleet which was one of the reasons Nature Air ceased operations.
In 2020, Nature Air had plans to restart operations. The airline had plans to restart by providing various routes, using 50-seater jets, to ten Central and South American destinations.
Before suspending operations in 2018, the airline served destinations including Golfito, Barra Colorado, Liberia, Nosara Beach, Palmar, Puerto Jimenez, Punta Islita, Quepos, San José, Tamarindo, Tambor and Tortuguero. In addition to their domestic services, Nature Air also offered two international routes to Bocas del Toro in Panama and Managua in Nicaragua.
Nature Air was founded in 2003 and operated up until 2018 as a privately owned airline, based at San Jose International Airport in San Jose, Costa Rica. Nature Air was a regional airline based in Costa Rica that offered scheduled passenger services around Costa Rica, Panama and Nicaragua. It also offered chartered services with its turboprop aircraft, the Cessna 208 Grand Caravan.

Costa Rica's Nature Air set to return to service
Nature Air was grounded on New Years Day 2018 following investigations into a crash. At the time, the Civil Aviation Authority in Costa Rica suspended the operating permit of Nature Air.
However, the airline announced in early 2019 that it was preparing to resume operations. The news comes after the settlement of a USD27 million insurance case against the airline. The case has closed without any further recourse to Nature Air.
