## Description

Satena is the only scheduled airline at Tame's airport (IATA: TME, ICAO: SKTM), officially General Gabriel Vargas Santos and still listed as Gustavo Vargas in older directories, a purely regional field in Colombia's Arauca department at the foot of the Eastern Cordillera. The state carrier links Tame with Bogotá, some 330 kilometres away as the crow flies, and with Saravena. No freight infrastructure exists: no cargo terminal, no freighter operation and no customs post for air cargo, so goods travel at most as belly loads. Oil, cattle and farming drive the local economy, and equipment, spare parts and consumables arrive over the trunk roads from Bogotá and through Villavicencio, with the security situation near the Venezuelan border shaping routing and scheduling for road transport. For air freight and customs clearance, Bogotá El Dorado (BOG) is the national cargo gateway and Santiago Pérez Quiroz in Arauca (AUC) the closest regional alternative.
