## Description

Anyone planning air freight into Venezuela's central plains should treat Calabozo Airport (CLZ/SVCL) in Guárico state as a destination to truck to, not to fly into. The single-runway field, aligned 09/27, saw scheduled service from Aeropostal and Avensa between the 1960s and the 1980s, but today handles essentially private and utility flying with no scheduled operations. A dedicated cargo terminal, freight handling agent or permanent customs post is not confirmed, so commercial shipments are not processed here. Imports and exports for the region move through Arturo Michelena International in Valencia (VLN), central Venezuela's principal cargo gateway, or through Simón Bolívar International at Maiquetía near Caracas (CCS), which carries the widest international network. Both are several hours away by road, so trucking cost and transit time have to be planned in; for ocean freight, Puerto Cabello is the relevant seaport. The surrounding Llanos region is dominated by rice, maize and cattle production, cargo that in practice travels by road rather than by air. Capacity or tonnage figures for Calabozo itself are not reliably documented.
