## Description

About 41,800 passengers passed through German Olano Airport (PCR, SKPC) in 2017, a volume that marks this 1,800-metre strip as the lifeline of Colombia's Vichada department rather than a freight facility. The field lies some 1.5 km west of the Orinoco on the Venezuelan border and serves Puerto Carreño, the departmental capital, roughly 750 km from Bogotá in a straight line. State carrier Satena operates the scheduled link, code-sharing with Avianca on the Bogotá route; no dedicated cargo terminal and no all-cargo schedule are confirmed, so airfreight moves as belly load or on charters. Heavy and low-value goods arrive by barge on the Orinoco and Meta rivers, or overland in the dry season on the track toward Puerto Gaitán and Villavicencio. Forwarders arrange import and export customs clearance at Bogotá El Dorado (BOG) and source charter capacity for the Orinoquía through Villavicencio (VVC). The terminal upgrade remains unfinished: passengers have used a provisional building since August 2019, and departmental auditors noted the replacement was still not operational in 2023.
