Airport contact
Long-time Conviasa hub and gateway to Isla Margarita, also served by LASER, Avior, Estelar, Rutaca, Venezolana, Turpial and Aeropostal; ranked historically as Venezuela's third-busiest airport after Caracas and Maracaibo. No verified post-2013 passenger totals were found, and given the well-documented contraction of Venezuelan commercial aviation since 2014 (US sanctions, hyperinflation, reduced international service), current traffic and international connectivity are almost certainly well below the 3.79M-passenger 2013 peak cited here — treat that figure as historical, not current.
