SATENA (Servicio Aéreo a Territorios Nacionales)
Self-handled, SATENA; Colombia's state regional airline operates the only confirmed scheduled service at Mandinga (COG) - turboprop flights to/from Cali (Alfonso Bonilla Aragón) and Medellín (Olaya Herrera) on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Schedule confirmed directly on SATENA's Condoto route page (satena.com/es/vuelos-nacionales/condoto); contact number verified on SATENA's own site (Ventas (•••). As the sole scheduled carrier at this small non-concessioned strip with no separate ground-handling company identified, SATENA is presumed - per standard practice at Colombian regional aerodromes of this size - to self-handle its own ramp, check-in and baggage; that specific detail is not itself documented on the operator's site.

Searca (charter/air-taxi operator)
Self-handled, Searca; listed by Spanish Wikipedia as a current operator at Mandinga/Condoto alongside SATENA (and a third carrier, Aexpa, which could not be independently verified and is not included here). Independently confirmed via searca.com.co as a real, active Colombian charter/air-taxi operator flying small aircraft nationwide, including Pacific-coast communities. COG-specific routing and any dedicated on-field ground staff could not be verified on the operator's own site, so on-field presence at this station is unconfirmed.

Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia (Aerocivil)
Historical airport statistics (Aerocivil-sourced, per Wikipedia) record 113 t of cargo movement in 2008 through the small mixed-use passenger terminal, alongside 6,913 movements that year and 1,499 air operations in 2012; no dedicated cargo-terminal operator or current cargo volumes could be found, so this is attributed to Aerocivil as terminal operator by default rather than confirmed directly.

Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia (Aerocivil)
Mandinga is a small non-concessioned regional aerodrome; Aerocivil's national site lists separate "Proveedor de Servicios a la Navegación Aérea" and "Proveedor de Servicios Aeroportuarios" roles for the airports it administers directly, which is the norm for Chocó Pacific-coast strips of this size, implying it supplies ATS, AIS/NOTAM and met briefing here. No COG-specific tenant page was found to confirm current on-field staffing.
