## Description

Manufactured goods from Venezuela's industrial core move through Arturo Michelena International Airport (VLN), the main air-cargo field of the central region at Valencia in Carabobo state. The airport is the home base of Solar Cargo, a dedicated Venezuelan freight carrier flying Boeing 727-200F and DC-10-30F aircraft to destinations across the Americas and the Caribbean. Its 3,000-metre runway accommodates medium-haul jets, and the terminal provides its own customs and immigration processing. Valencia ranks among the country's busiest airports and anchors the central industrial belt. The field also serves as a secondary hub for Avior Airlines and the base of Turpial Airlines. Regional motorways give quick access to the seaport of Puerto Cabello, supporting combined sea-air shipments. The airport is operated by the Carabobo state airport institute on behalf of state company BAER.
