Flying To Ometepe Island

A few years back the government took it upon themselves to build a very nice airport on the island, La Paloma Airport.  There is only one airline , along with some private aircraft, which fly to Ometepe Island.  Flights are limited to Sunday and Thursday's right now and you can expect to pay US$57.50/per person for a one way ticket. Here is a schedule of the available flights to the island:

NOTE: It is actually one small 12-seater plane that begins and ends in Managua yet hops through three other locations and back, on its twice-a-week journey. The times listed below are the current departure times from each location.  And it is the same schedule, and flight numbers, on every Sunday and Thursday.
