Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional Daniel Oduber Quirós) (IATA: LIR, ICAO: MRLB), also known as Liberia International Airport, is one of four international airports in Costa Rica. The airport is located in the city of Liberia in Guanacaste Province. It serves specially as a tourism hub for those who visit the Pacific coast and Western Costa Rica. The airport is named for Daniel Oduber Quirós, who served as president of Costa Rica from 1974 to 1978.

The new terminal building, encompassing approximately 23,000 m2 (250,000 sq ft), features a contemporary design that both increases efficiency and capacity over the existing facility. Construction started on 19 October 2010; the terminal opened on 12 January 2012.[12] Further expansion of the terminal is set to commence in January 2017 and is scheduled to conclude in November; the expansion would add capacity for the airport to receive 5 new airlines.

Comments

  • the brand name of the fans is BIG ASS FANS (located in Lexington, KY) so the comment should really say "BIG ASS" instead of huge. Trus! And the upstairs restaurant is great!
  • Operations at this airport have been expanding in mid-2000s to accommodate more tourists. As stated above, the facilities are fairly primitive. However, this can be a more convenient arrival point than San Jose for those persons coming into Guanacaste. You can easily arrive at mid-day and be in Tamarindo, Samara or Nosara before dark...unlike arriving in San Jose and having to stay in the city overnight. Rental cars are close, but it is best to book in advance. 4WD is recommended for anyplace other than the most accessible.
