Costa Rica Domestic Flights

Basically choice of two carriers:
1 - SANSA (part of TACA/LACSA) flying single engine Cessna Caravans - two pilot IFR operation. Two recent fatal accidents.
Fly from SJO Juan Santa Maria International and daylight only schedules.
2 - TRAVELAIR flying mainly twin engined BN Islanders/Trislander in single/two pilot VFR operation. USA registered aircraft.
Fly from downtown San Jose PAVAS airport daylight only.
Both carriers offer similar destinations - best are the Pacific ones like Tamarindo, Tambor (even Liberia) and Quepos (serving the Manuel Antonio National Park area).
Mountainous terrain, volcanoes, rain forest and lovely beaches!
