About This Airport
Business jets, flight schools and maintenance hangars, not freighters, define Caracas Óscar Machado Zuloaga Airport (ICAO SVCS) at Charallave in the Tuy valley south of Caracas. Privately operated and built around a runway of roughly two kilometres, it is regarded as the principal base of Venezuelan private aviation, hosting charter and air ambulance operators, aircraft sales and rental, five flying schools and workshops for airframes, engines, avionics, oxygen systems and paint. Despite the word "International" in its name, there is no evidence of a cargo terminal, freighter operator or customs post for air freight, so shipments cannot be cleared or handled here. Air cargo for greater Caracas is concentrated at Simón Bolívar International in Maiquetía (CCS) on the coast, with Valencia (VLN) as the usual alternative for industrial traffic from Carabobo. Trucks distribute inland from Maiquetía over the Caracas-La Guaira motorway and onward into the Tuy valley, leaving SVCS relevant only for time-critical charter and medical flights.
