Sansa Regional (Sansa Airlines)
Sansa Regional is listed as the FBO/handler for La Managua Airport in the Business Air News handbook, alongside its Palmar Sur station; this is self-handling (not a third-party handler) consistent with Sansa's pattern of handling its own scheduled domestic flights at small Costa Rican airfields. Aerobell Airlines and Costa Rica Green Airways also have or had service linked to Quepos, but no separate named ground handling company could be confirmed for either carrier.
