## Description

Carúpano's airport earns no freight at all: General José Francisco Bermúdez (IATA: CUP, ICAO: SVCP) has been without commercial scheduled service for years, even though local business associations say it meets the technical requirements of Venezuela's civil aviation authority INAC. Restart dates announced for December 2024, then February and Easter week passed without flights, prompting trade bodies in the Bermúdez municipality to protest publicly in April 2026 about the Paria corridor's lack of air connectivity. There is no cargo terminal, no bonded warehouse and no scheduled freighter service. The Paria peninsula in Sucre state lives from fishing, cocoa and coastal tourism, and its output leaves the region by road. Air freight is consolidated at Barcelona (General José Antonio Anzoátegui, BLA) and above all at Caracas Maiquetía (CCS), which itself only partially reopened on 1 September 2026 after the 24 June 2026 earthquakes, with customs handled by SENIAT. For forwarders CUP is therefore not a routing option but a site to watch.
