Location
La Fortuna, Costa Rica
La Fortuna Arenal Airport (IATA: FON, ICAO: MRAN) is a small domestic airport located near the town of La Fortuna de San Carlos in the Alajuela province of Costa Rica. It primarily serves tourists visiting the Arenal Volcano National Park and the surrounding adventure tourism destinations. The airport handles light aircraft and small regional turboprop flights, connecting La Fortuna to San José's Juan Santamaría International Airport and other domestic destinations. It plays an important role in providing air access to a region that is otherwise reached by a lengthy overland journey from the capital. Given its small scale, the airport has minimal infrastructure and facilities, functioning mainly as a regional airstrip serving charter and scheduled domestic services rather than commercial jet operations.
