SATENA is the sole scheduled carrier, operating state-subsidized regional flights linking this remote Amazon-border town to Bogota and Villavicencio; sitting on the Vaupes River near the Brazilian border, the airport is Mitu's only reliable year-round connection to the rest of Colombia given the absence of road access.

Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia (Aerocivil)
Aerocivil directly administers Fabio Alberto León Bentley as a non-concessioned aerodrome (Spanish Wikipedia airport profile lists "Operador: Aerocivil"); it is responsible for airfield/apron operations and coordination for the sole scheduled carrier (SATENA) and irregular freighter calls (Aerosucre). No separate third-party ramp-handling company is documented at this small Amazon-region field, so attribution to Aerocivil itself is inferred from its general non-concessioned-airport role rather than a named station contract.

SATENA
Self-handled, SATENA — the Colombian state airline is the sole scheduled passenger carrier documented at MVP (Wikipedia confirms routes to Bogotá-El Dorado and Villavicencio-Vanguardia); no independent third-party ground-handling agent is documented at this stop, consistent with SATENA in-house handling at its smaller regional destinations. A dedicated Mitú station ticketing/baggage office is plausible but was not independently confirmed on SATENA's own site during.

Aircraft fuel Unconfirmed
Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia (Aerocivil)
Airport profile (Wikipedia) confirms MVP has aviation-fuel refuelling service ("servicio de reabastecimiento de combustible de aviación"); no distinct commercial fuel brand (e.g. Terpel/Biomax) is identified for this remote non-concessioned field, so supply is presumed managed through the airport administration — supplier identity unconfirmed.

Aerosucre S.A.
In-house, Aerosucre — the Bogotá-based all-cargo carrier's own official routes page (aerosucre.com.co) lists Mitú among its regular Colombian Amazon freighter destinations, operating Boeing 737-200C "combi"/cargo aircraft into MVP (documented August 2021 cargo-door incident on a Mitú departure). Aerosucre self-handles its own freight at this and other isolated Amazon strips; no separate cargo-terminal operator is documented at MVP.
