Small regional airport serving Puerto Carreno, capital of Vichada, on the Orinoco River near the Venezuela border; served solely by state carrier Satena on Bogota and Villavicencio routes as a subsidized Llanos/border-region link, with a long-delayed replacement terminal still under a fiscal-irregularity probe.

Services

Ground handling Unconfirmed
Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia (Aerocivil)
Aerocivil directly administers Germán Olano Airport as one of the aerodromes it runs itself in Colombia's Eastern/Llanos region (not concessioned to a private operator); the citizen-service contact ••• is confirmed live on Aerocivil's own site (aerocivil.gov.co). No separate third-party ramp-handling contractor was identified, and it remains unconfirmed whether SATENA staff or Aerocivil field staff perform the physical ramp/baggage work, so status is kept unconfirmed rather than available; a prior draft's named Gerente Aeroportuario ("•••") could not be independently verified and has been dropped from the record rather than asserted as fact.

Aerosucre S.A.
Self-handled, Aerosucre: confirmed live on Aerosucre's own route map (aerosucre.com.co/rutas), Puerto Carreño is a current named destination alongside Puerto Inírida and Mitú. The carrier has flown scheduled all-cargo freighter service into Puerto Carreño for decades (historically Boeing 727, involved in the fatal Dec-20-2016 Flight 157 takeoff accident at this airport, confirmed via public accident records), consistent with self-handling by its own loadmaster/mechanic rather than a third-party ramp handler, though that specific staffing detail is not independently verified.

SATENA (Servicio Aéreo a Territorios Nacionales)
State airline SATENA carries mail and cargo ("correo y carga") to all of its destinations, confirmed on its own commercial site (satena.com/carga), which advertises airport-to-airport cargo service company-wide (the page does not name Puerto Carreño specifically, but Puerto Carreño is a served SATENA destination). SATENA is also confirmed, via Wikipedia and public accident-record coverage of the field, as PCR's sole scheduled passenger carrier as of 2026, with routes to Bogotá (with an Avianca codeshare) and Villavicencio.

Aviation security Unconfirmed
Policía Nacional de Colombia (Antinarcóticos / seguridad aeroportuaria)
Policía Nacional (DIRAN/Antinarcóticos and general airport security) is Colombia's standard nationwide provider of aviation security/screening at Aerocivil-administered aerodromes, and Puerto Carreño, a Vichada border town on a known Orinoquía smuggling corridor, fits this pattern.

Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia (Aerocivil)
Aerocivil operates the aerodrome's control tower and associated Aerodrome Reporting Office, providing flight-plan filing, ATC and met/NOTAM briefing for arriving/departing traffic; this is standard practice at Aerocivil-direct-run Colombian regional airports and is consistent with public reporting on the fatal Dec-20-2016 Aerosucre Flight 157 accident at this field (Boeing 727-200, 5 fatalities), which occurred at night and involved a finding that Aerocivil had allowed the aircraft type to operate here despite the field not being approved for it. The specific claim that the tower closes ~15:00 local (reverting the field to uncontrolled) and the tower phone line could not be and should be treated as unverified detail, not a confirmed fact.
