Direct Flight from SDQ to Costa Rica
It may be a tag on flight of some European airline but they may not have fifth freedom rights on that route, thus no ticket sale would be allowed for CR-DR leg.
Condor for example flies Jamaica - DR one time for week but they apparently have no fifth freedom rights because you cannot buy ticket Jamaica - Punta Cana. I don't think problem is on the DR sides because DR grants freedom rights to anyone who asks for them, even the seventh freedom, I believe Iberojet from Spain will start operating flights from DR to other countries with aircraft based in the DR. So the problem in the case mentioned above, is most likely Jamaica does not allow it, as in case of fifth freedom rights both countries involved must grant that right.
