Photo Comment

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.
