Talma Colombia Servicios Aeroportuarios S.A.S. (formerly SAI – Servicios Aeroportuarios Integrados)
Ramp and passenger ground handling, baggage/cargo transfer, and aircraft marshalling would plausibly serve Avianca's 3x-daily Neiva–Bogotá flights (plus LATAM, Clic, Satena) here. SAI was Avianca's national ground-handling subsidiary before Grupo Sandoval (Peru, trading as Talma) acquired 100% of SAI from Avianca in Feb 2023 (El Tiempo, Portafolio, La República). However, Talma's current public sites (talma.com.co, talma.aero) do not enumerate Neiva among named stations and are largely under-construction/thin content as of — operation at NVA specifically is inferred from the historical Avianca-SAI relationship, not independently re-confirmed. Treat as unconfirmed pending a direct Talma station list or on-airport confirmation.

GAF – Globe Air Fuel S.A.S.
Into-plane JET A1 and AVGAS 100LL supply. Neiva/Benito Salas (ICAO SKNV, IATA NVA) is listed by name with both fuel grades on GAF's own network-supply page (gafcolombia.com/en/services/network-supply/), so this is airport-specific, not a group-level claim. Into-plane agent identity/hours at NVA specifically not separately confirmed.

Policía Nacional de Colombia – Región de Policía No. 2, unidad Antinarcóticos (instalaciones en el Aeropuerto Benito Salas)
Government aviation-security/policing presence at the terminal is genuine: the airport's own sourced profile confirms it hosts facilities of the Policía Nacional's Región 2 Antinarcóticos unit. A distinct \"Estación de Policía Aeropuerto Benito Salas\" entry and its phone number could not be located in policía.gov.co's own directory despite direct checks, so that specific unit name/contact is unconfirmed even though a police presence at the airport is real. Screening-equipment operator (private contractor vs. police-run) also not separately confirmed.

Aerocivil (Unidad Administrativa Especial de Aeronáutica Civil)
Self-provided by the airport/air-navigation authority: Aerocivil owns and directly operates Benito Salas (non-concessioned) — confirmed as both propietario and operador in the airport's own sourced profile, corroborated by a multi-year record of direct Aerocivil-funded runway/platform investment (2014, 2019) and an Aerocivil-led terminal-reactivation inspection (2020). Airport fire/rescue is category 6. AIS and met/briefing functions typical of Aerocivil-run fields; 28m control tower on site.
