Despite sitting in the middle of Caracas, La Carlota is not a freight airport in any commercial sense. Officially the Base Aérea Generalísimo Francisco de Miranda, it is run by the Venezuelan military and used for military, government and general-aviation flights, plus the occasional public event. There is no cargo terminal and no civilian customs handling for trade goods. All commercial air traffic for the Caracas area — passengers and cargo alike — goes through Simón Bolívar International Airport at Maiquetía (CCS). Forwarders with shipments for the capital should look to Maiquetía, not here.
