Henry Jhon de la Luz. Head of TACA Office in Spain

Q- What kind of multi-destination transportation project has gone solid with Central America?

<i>A- After a two-year thorough market study, we came up with some kind of Senguel Treaty, like in borderless Europe, but in this case applied to Central America. As a result of this, we’ve put together an air travel package dubbed TACA Air Pass. For this region, we’ve called this project CATA (Central America Tourism Association) and we’ll implement a Central America Pass. </i>

Q- Why Central America Pass?

<i>A- This is a package consisting of three coupons that add up $299 and that can be used to travel all across Central America. These coupons do not include airfares. </i>

Q- Where can you fly to using this air travel system?

<i>A- Airfares hinge on distances, departing from any spot in the Western Hemisphere, either from North America, Central America, South America or the Caribbean. As to the latter, only from Cuba because that’s the only nation in the region where we fly to, even from Canada. That’s called the Latin Pass. </i>

Q- How many flights does the Latin Pass cover?

<i> A- Approximately 450 flights. </i>

Q- How much does it cost?

<i>A- Minimum price per coupon is $100 and $250 tops. That covers the route between NYC and Lima. </i>

Q- What limitations will it have?

<i>A- You have to buy at least three coupons and book a minimum stay of five days. </i>

Q- What kind of aircraft will you use?

<i>A- That’s an interesting question. The success of TACA relies on how much money it happens to reinvest in new aircraft. As we speak, we operate the most modern fleet of all Latin America with high-tech Airbus 320s and 319s. These are weigt boda planes, so that means passengers fly comfier because seats are wider. </i>
