No published nighttime curfew; PPR advisable for non-scheduled/GA traffic given low movement volume and high-density-altitude performance margins.

Airport contact
One of the world's highest-elevation commercial airports (3,702 m / 12,146 ft, behind only La Paz-El Alto in Bolivia) — the 4,000 m runway 18/36, extended in a 2013 modernization, exists specifically to offset severe density-altitude penalties on takeoff performance. Despite carrying "International" in its name and historic designation, current scheduled service is limited to Boliviana de Aviación (BoA) domestic flights to Cochabamba (roughly daily per current schedules); Santa Cruz de la Sierra appears in older route listings but is not confirmed as a currently active nonstop service, and there are no active international routes or staffed customs/immigration at present.

No independent third-party ground handler identified at this small regional field, consistent with standard practice at other Bolivian domestic stations. The WFP DLCA infrastructure table for this airport lists ground-handling services as present ("Servicios de asistencia en tierra: Si").

Aircraft fuel
Unconfirmed
YPFB Aviación
State aviation-fuel monopoly for Jet A-1 and AVGAS nationwide. On-field refuelling capability at Juan Mendoza is independently confirmed: the WFP DLCA infrastructure table lists "Capacidad de repostaje: Si", and the airport authority's published tariff gives into-plane Jet A-1 (national/international) and AVGAS per-litre prices. However, YPFB Aviacion's own published list of operating locations (La Paz, Cochabamba, Sucre, Tarija, Yacuiba, Santa Cruz Trompillo/Viru Viru, Puerto Suarez, Trinidad, Riberalta, Guayaramerin, Cobija) does not include Oruro and gives no count of 15 plants, so YPFB as the specific supplier at this field is unconfirmed rather than verified.

Passenger & crew transport
Unconfirmed
Emporio Renta Car
Small locally-based car rental operator in Oruro (found under the business listing "RENTA car - Oruro Emporio"); the company appears genuine but airport pickup/delivery at Juan Mendoza and the listed phone number could not be independently corroborated beyond its own business listing, so treat those specifics as unconfirmed rather than verified.
