Sansa Air

Sansa Air are one of 2 airlines that we use here in Costa Rica for internal transfers that are too long to be done by ground. They have been offering a great efficient service around Costa Rica for over 27 years. They fly out of San Jose out to 15 destinations around Costa Rica, including Tamarindo, Tortuguero and Quepos.

They have a fleet of America Cessna Grand Caravan, light aircraft which seat 12 Passengers and 2 pilots. They measure just under 13 meters in length and offer a unique way to see parts of Costa Rica that you don't get from the ground.

The max cruising speed of these planes is over 300km/h which means you will never be in the air for long. They are by far and away the best way to take the longer internal transfers. A ground transfer from San Jose to Tamarindo can take up to 6 hours, where as it will be no longer than 30 minutes by plane, which really does make a huge difference. Why spend time in a bus or car when you could be enjoying a long cocktail by the pool or catching some sun on the beach.

Sansa offer both scheduled flights, and also the option for customers to charter their own private connection, which of course is much more expensive. Sansa are a part of a chain of regional airlines, which goes by the name of TACA. These airlines also offer flights to the rest of Central America, including Panama, Nicaragua and Honduras.
