SANSA (Servicios Aéreos Nacionales)
SANSA operates daily scheduled Cessna Grand Caravan flights between San Jose-Juan Santamaria and Tamarindo (roughly 30-40 weekly departures, ~50 min flight time); no third-party FBO or ground handler is documented for this small private airstrip, consistent with SANSA self-handling its own turnarounds, though that specific arrangement is not explicitly confirmed by any public source.

Skyway Costa Rica
Skyway Costa Rica operates LET L-410 turboprop aircraft on scheduled routes to Tamarindo, one of its listed focus-city destinations since the airline's 2017 founding; self-handling of its own turns at this small resort airstrip is inferred from the absence of any documented third-party ground handler, but is not explicitly confirmed in public sources.
