Airport contact
Classified by DGAC as a state-owned local aerodrome (not one of Costa Rica's four international airports), served daily by SANSA's domestic network connecting to San José (Juan Santamaría) as the gateway to the Golfo Dulce/southern Pacific coast; former banana-port town with genuinely minimal infrastructure - single asphalt strip, no fuel sales recorded in national statistics, no customs or immigration presence, and no fixed operating hours beyond scheduled service.

SANSA (Servicios Aéreos Nacionales S.A.)
SANSA is the only scheduled airline operating at Golfito Airport (GLF/MRGF), flying multiple daily domestic flights to San Jose-Juan Santamaria and a route to Coto 47; as the sole operator at this small DGAC-run airfield, with no independent FBO or third-party ground handler on record for this airport, SANSA self-handles its own aircraft, passengers and baggage.
