## Description

Light aircraft loading tourists for Canaima and Angel Falls are the typical sight at General Tomás de Heres Airport (CBL) in Ciudad Bolívar, the historic city on the Orinoco. The airport handles regional passenger services and sightseeing flights rather than freight, with no cargo airline or dedicated cargo terminal on site. Urgent air shipments for the area are normally routed through Caracas-Maiquetía or the nearby industrial airport at Puerto Ordaz (PZO), while bulk goods move along the Orinoco River. For forwarders, CBL is a feeder and passenger field, not a cargo destination.
