SATENA (Servicio Aéreo a Territorios Nacionales)
Confirmed (en.wikipedia.org Araracuara Airport article; this dataset's own SKAC record) as the sole scheduled operator serving this remote Amazon-basin gravel strip (runway 11/29, uncontrolled aerodrome, no ATC tower), flying the subsidized route to Florencia and La Chorrera. This dataset's own airport record notes "no scheduled ground handling infrastructure" beyond a basic terminal/shelter -- consistent with SATENA self-handling its own turnarounds, as already documented at other small Amazonas outstations in this dataset (Tarapaca, Leticia, La Chorrera) -- but no station-specific handling contract or citation was found for Araracuara itself.

Unconfirmed
SATENA (Servicio Aéreo a Territorios Nacionales)
SATENA's own cargo page (satena.com/carga) confirms an airport-to-airport mail/cargo service extended to "todos nuestros destinos" (all our destinations), consistent with the carrier's mandate as Colombia's state social-interest airline to carry cargo and mail to isolated Amazonas communities lacking road access. The page does not name Araracuara specifically, and no station-specific cargo-terminal or tonnage documentation was found; this reflects SATENA's general network-wide cargo policy applied to a confirmed SATENA destination, not a station-specific citation.
