## Description

Scheduled flying stopped at José Leonardo Chirinos Airport (CZE, SVCR) in Coro early in 2011, when Conviasa and Avior dropped their Caracas services, and the field was left to deteriorate until it lost its international classification. Commercial operations restarted on 4 August 2025, initially with Rutaca alone flying to Caracas, so the capital of Venezuela's Falcón state again has an air link — a thin one. No dedicated freight infrastructure is documented at CZE: no cargo terminal, no cold rooms, no dangerous-goods handling, and consignments travel as belly cargo on the few passenger rotations. Falcón's authorities cite better movement of goods among the reasons for the reactivation, but no tonnage figures have been published. Import and export traffic therefore still runs overland, with the coastal highway leading west to Maracaibo and La Chinita (MAR), while Simón Bolívar at Maiquetía near Caracas (CCS) remains Venezuela's principal air cargo gateway and customs point. Inside Falcón, Josefa Camejo at Punto Fijo (LSP) on the Paraguaná peninsula is the larger field and the nearest alternative.
