Airport contact
Small Amazonian-lowland regional field in Bolivia's Beni department on the Brazil border (opposite Guajará-Mirim); the current airport (SLGM) sits 5km south of downtown, replacing the older riverside 'Capitán de Av. Emilio Beltrán' field (ICAO SLGY, now closed) after a Nov-2022 terminal/tower rebuild. EcoJet is currently the only carrier serving GYA (to Trinidad, connecting onward to Santa Cruz/Cochabamba); Boliviana de Aviación does NOT currently operate here despite a shelved 2010s 'BoA Regional' plan — that subsidiary shut down in 2019, so BoA should not be listed as an active current carrier. No international, customs, or immigration facilities; annual passenger count is an unverified estimate, not an official published figure.

EcoJet
Self-handled, EcoJet. Independently cross-checked via FlightConnections: EcoJet is confirmed as the only carrier operating at GYA, on a seasonal Guayaramerín–Trinidad route (about 8 flights per month, August–October season). No independent third-party ground handler is documented at this small NAABOL-run regional field, consistent with EcoJet's own station crew performing ramp/turnaround handling as is typical for Bolivian domestic carriers at non-hub stations; not independently documented beyond the absence of any other named handler.

YPFB Aviación
Jet A-1 into-plane fuelling at Guayaramerín (ICAO SLGM/IATA GYA). YPFB Aviación's own corporate website confirms it lists Guayaramerín among the localities where it maintains aviation-fuel operations, and YPFB Aviación is Bolivia's state aviation-fuel company and de facto sole nationwide supplier of Jet Fuel and Avgas, making it the presumptive into-plane supplier at this field.

NAABOL (Navegación Aérea y Aeropuertos Bolivianos)
NAABOL, Bolivia's state air-navigation and airports authority (successor to AASANA), lists Aeropuerto Ernesto Roca Barbadillo in its own official airport directory under its Regional Trinidad division and operates the field directly with no private concessionaire, consistent with NAABOL providing the airport's ARO/AIS flight-planning, briefing and NOTAM desk as it does at its other non-concessioned regional airports. Note: NAABOL's own site lists only four regions (La Paz, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz, Trinidad), none named Beni, so the draft's Regional Beni reference appears to be an error.
