Costa Rica’s SJO Airport Delays Tied to Weather, Not IT Crash
Costa Rica’s SJO Airport disruptions in July 2026 were caused by heavy fog, rain, and low clouds in the Central Valley, leading to flight delays and immigration congestion. Immigration queues were exacerbated by peak-season travel and bunched delayed arrivals. No IT system failures in the judiciary or immigration platforms were reported.
