Rafael Nunez International Airport CTG / SKCG

Full passenger, ramp and baggage handling for scheduled carriers at CTG. Independently confirmed: industry press on Talma's Jan 2023 acquisition of 90% of Avianca's ex-subsidiary SAI (Servicios Aereos/Aeroportuarios Integrados) lists Bogota, Medellin, Cali, Cartagena, Armenia, Barranquilla, Bucaramanga, Monteria, Ibague, Neiva, Pereira and Pasto as SAI/Talma stations, so Cartagena/CTG is explicitly named, not a group-level claim. Note Talma's own corporate site lists '19 airports' without naming them, so use the third-party source as the primary citation.

Self-handled: Avianca Services provides aircraft/ramp handling for Avianca's own flights at CTG per the same AC-U-KWIK listing.

Independent Cartagena-headquartered ground handler ('Cartagena Aeropuerto, 2do Piso' per reg.com.co), founded 1993, ISAGO-certified, 400+ staff; provides commercial aviation ramp/passenger ground assistance and cargo-flight ground ops for national and international carriers at Rafael Nunez, plus a Barranquilla/Santa Marta network. This was a gap in the draft, added on fact-check.

Jet A-1 and Avgas supplier at Cartagena, corroborated by independent local news coverage (El Universal, Sept 2024) of a Terpel-notified aviation fuel supply shortage specifically affecting Cartagena; Terpel Aviacion states a presence at 31 airports across 4 countries. Phone verified as Terpel's genuine national 24/7 customer-service line (•••), so treat as corporate contact, not a CTG station line. Exact CTG contract terms unconfirmed.

Downgraded on fact-check: the draft's cited evidence (an IATA member notice on a WFS fuel-supply suspension to one airline at Cartagena from 23 Aug 2024) could not be independently located or verified. A 2026 WFS job posting confirms fuel-operations staff based in Cartagena, but Cartagena is also a major seaport and WFS is a marine-fuel supplier there too, so this does not confirm an into-plane aviation role at Rafael Nunez specifically. Other operators (e.g. Terpel, and marketing-page-only listings for Suat Fuels which were excluded as templated per-airport boilerplate) are the better-evidenced CTG fuel names.

Talma's corporate service line includes on-aircraft line maintenance (mantenimiento en linea) across its Colombian network; not independently confirmed as active specifically at CTG.

Aircraft interior/cabin cleaning is typically bundled into Talma's full-service ground handling contracts; no CTG-specific documentation found.

Ground support equipment is typically bundled into Talma's full-service ramp handling contracts; no CTG-specific GSE documentation found for Talma (a competing local operator, REG, does independently and specifically advertise GSE rental/repair at CTG - see separate entry).

reg.com.co explicitly advertises ground support equipment rental and repair as part of its Cartagena airport service line.

Operates a cargo warehouse and sales point (Bodega DC 007, Tercera Avenida / Cr. 3 y Calle 71) at Aeropuerto Rafael Nunez, handling freight, courier and merchandise distribution via Avianca's daily flights. Phone confirmed against independent Deprisa branch directories (colombiarastreo.com, telefono10.com.co). Hours corrected on fact-check: those directories list Mon-Fri 07:00-20:00, Sat 08:00-17:00, Sun closed (draft understated both weekday and Saturday closing times by an hour). · Mon-Fri 07:00-20:00, Sat 08:00-17:00, Sun closed

Confirmed via AC-U-KWIK Global Airport Data (acukwik.com/Basic-Info/SKCG/AVIANCA-SERVICES): Avianca Services is listed as FBO/Handler at Cartagena/Rafael Nunez International (SKCG), offering FBO/handler desk, pilot services, aircraft services and fuel coordination.

reg.com.co advertises general-aviation FBO services (full operational support for private/commercial flights) at Cartagena.
