## Description

The Aviación Militar Bolivariana runs Maracay's airfield, home to Escuadrón 142 Básico and Escuadrón 143 Táctico with their Embraer EMB 312 Tucano trainers, which makes MYC (ICAO: SVBS) first and foremost a military flying school rather than a commercial airport. Known locally as Aeropuerto Los Tacarigua, this joint civil-military base has hosted Venezuelan pilot training since the 1920s and today adds only limited general aviation. There are no scheduled passenger or cargo flights, no freight terminal and no customs post on site. Air freight for the industrial Aragua region moves through Valencia (Arturo Michelena, VLN) roughly 50 km west and Caracas Maiquetía (CCS) a good 110 km east, where ground handlers and the SENIAT customs administration are established. For sea and combined transport, Puerto Cabello — Venezuela's principal seaport, about 75 km away — is the obvious alternative. For forwarders, MYC is a reference point for military and private movements, not an air-cargo option.
