Aero Caribe was founded in 2013 and currently operates a fleet of six aircraft, equally divided to three Cessna 206 Stationair and three Piper PA-34 Seneca, like TI-BEL shown here. The other two PA-34 carry registrations TI-AUA and TI-AHU. Aero Caribe's main business is air charter flights to Costa Rica's tourist destinations, but it also offers scenic and photographic flights, MEDEVAC / air ambulance services plus skydiving.

In 1978/79, SANSA grew out of LACSA, Costa Rica's then national airline. SANSA was tasked with handling all domestic traffic and today offers daily scheduled and charter flights out of San José International. SANSA previously operated DC-3 and Casa 212 aircraft, but currently uses 11 Cessna 208 Grand Caravans, the perfect aircraft to serve Costa Rica's many tourist destinations, some of which only maintain small airfields with a limted runway width and length, such as Nosara Beach Airstrip close to the Pacific Coast.

Costa Rica Green Airways is a familiy owned business established in 2018. It started off with a BN-2 Islander, followed by a Quest / Daher Kodiak 100 in 2020, while two Cessna 208B Grand Caravans joined the fleet in 2021. A single Beech F-90 King Air is used for executice charter flights. Those five aircraft give the small airline the flexibility it needs for scheduled and charter flights. Costa Rica Green Airways currently offers scheduled domestic flights to Tambor and Quepos, plus one international destination to Bocas del Toro, Panama.

Costa Rica Green Airways is a familiy owned business established in 2018. It started off with a BN-2 Islander, followed by a Quest / Daher Kodiak 100 in 2020, while two Cessna 208B Grand Caravans joined the fleet in 2021. A single Beech F-90 King Air is used for executice charter flights. Those five aircraft give the small airline the flexibility it needs for scheduled and charter flights. Costa Rica Green Airways currently offers scheduled domestic flights to Tambor and Quepos, plus one international destination to Bocas del Toro, Panama.

The small terminal building at this remote airstrip. The canal in the background is one of 2 means to get to this location, the other being via air transport. At the time of my visit, the strip was being served by Caravans or Twin Otters, maybe twice a day or so. Behind me was the Caribbean ocean and the dark sandy beach which is renowned for hosting turtle nests. As luck would have it, I witnessed a few nests hatching during my walk down the beach.
