## Description

Conviasa serves Caracas and Porlamar from Dr. Antonio Nicolás Briceño Airport (VLV/SVVL), and Avior links Valera with Caracas — that domestic passenger network is essentially the whole of the airport's traffic. The field sits about two kilometres from Valera in Trujillo, Venezuela's Andean coffee state, with a single 2,000 by 45 metre asphalt runway rated for civil categories B and C. Fuel storage exists but a refuelling service is not currently available, which limits which aircraft can work the station. There is no cargo terminal, no freighter service and no customs post for international consignments; whatever moves does so as small belly loads. Coffee, sugar cane and agricultural exports from Trujillo therefore travel by road to Caracas Maiquetía (CCS), where SENIAT customs and bonded warehousing are concentrated. La Chinita at Maracaibo (MAR) and El Vigía (VIG) are the nearer alternatives for feeder movements, with the ports of Puerto Cabello and Maracaibo covering the sea leg. For a forwarder, VLV is a trucking origin rather than an air cargo gateway.
