Talma Servicios Aeroportuarios (SAI)
Talma (formed from the SIC-authorized 2022 merger of LASA S.A. and SAI S.A.S., confirmed on talma.com.co) is one of Colombia's principal ground handlers, stating it operates at 19 domestic airports including secondary/regional stations; SAI was the long-standing incumbent handler model at smaller Caribbean-coast airports. MTR-specific station presence could not be independently confirmed on Talma's public site, so treat as probable but unconfirmed at the airport level. Phone shown is Talma's Medellín corporate line, not an MTR-specific number.

Aircraft fuel
Unconfirmed
Terpel (Organización Terpel S.A.)
Terpel is Colombia's largest fuel distributor with the widest domestic network, making it a plausible into-plane Jet A-1 supplier at Los Garzones. The specific claim that LATAM and El Colombiano named Terpel as the supplier that suspended deliveries at Montería during an August 2024 shortage could not be corroborated by any search, and Terpel is not mentioned anywhere on the airport's own site; treat the MTR-specific link as unconfirmed rather than as documented fact.

Aviation security
Unconfirmed
Policía Nacional de Colombia (Grupo Aeroportuario)
Aviation security screening and perimeter/vehicle control at Colombian airports is state-provided by the Policía Nacional rather than outsourced, and this is the standard model at regional airports such as Los Garzones. The specific news citation in the original draft ("Chicanoticias, Mar 2026") returned no corroborating results and could not be verified, so it was removed; the underlying national-model claim is structurally plausible but unconfirmed at the airport-specific level.

Airport concessionaire operating Los Garzones (part of its Centro Norte airport group); confirmed directly via aeropuertomonteria.co's own contact page, which lists this exact email and phone under "CONTACTO Aeropuerto Los Garzones".
