San Luis is Colombia's highest commercial airport (2,975 m/9,761 ft), serving Ipiales and Nariño's border-with-Ecuador region via Avianca (Bogotá) and Satena (Bogotá, Cali); Satena's subsidized routes help sustain connectivity for this remote southern-border province, and a terminal/tower/apron expansion is underway ahead of expected traffic growth.

Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia (Aerocivil)
San Luis is a small, non-concessioned regional airport administered directly by Aerocivil (confirmed via Aerocivil's own site, which reports ongoing 2025 terminal/runway modernization works at San Luis); airport staff appear to provide basic ramp and terminal facilitation for the field's scheduled carriers, but no dedicated third-party ground-handling company or documented tariff/contract was found for IPI.

Avianca
Avianca (mainline plus its Avianca Express regional brand) operates scheduled A319/A320 service to Bogotá from San Luis (confirmed route). Small Colombian domestic stations that lack a dedicated handling company are typically worked by the operating carrier's own station staff — self-handled, Avianca — but no separate contracted handling agent or self-handling permit citation was found for IPI specifically.

SATENA (Servicio Aéreo a Territorios Nacionales)
State-owned carrier SATENA operates scheduled ATR 42/72 service to Cali from San Luis (confirmed route). As Colombia's designated carrier for smaller/remote regional airports, SATENA typically self-handles at such stations — in-house, SATENA — but no separate contracted handling agent was identified for IPI.

SATENA (Servicio Aéreo a Territorios Nacionales)
SATENA runs a national 'SATENA Carga' freight service across its scheduled route network, appearing to be self-operated (in-house, SATENA) rather than run through an independent cargo-terminal operator; SATENA's own destination listings do not explicitly name Ipiales among promoted cargo points, so no IPI-specific cargo-terminal or tonnage documentation was found.

Aviation security
Unconfirmed
Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia (Aerocivil)
Aviation-security screening at Aerocivil-administered Colombian airports is normally provided under the national framework (Aerocivil / Policía Nacional's airport-police unit) rather than a private contractor; no IPI-specific security-provider documentation could be located.
