Avianca S.A.
Avianca operates scheduled A319/A320 flights Popayán-Bogotá (El Dorado), confirmed via the airport's Wikipedia airline/destination listing; no third-party ground handler is documented at this station, consistent with Avianca's standard self-handling model at smaller Colombian domestic points, but not independently confirmed for PPN.

SATENA (Servicio Aéreo a Territorios Nacionales)
SATENA (Colombian state-owned airline) operates Popayán as a regional network point, self-handling its own Let L-410/Beechcraft 1900 turboprop flights to Guapi, Ipiales and Timbiquí (confirmed via airport Wikipedia destination table and route-expansion press coverage). A previously cited specific claim that SATENA "opened its own airport office" in November 2023 could not be independently verified and has been removed; the underlying route network from Popayán is well documented.

Clic Air
This carrier operated as EasyFly S.A.S. until it rebranded to Clic/Clic Air on August 15, 2023 following a trademark dispute with EasyGroup Ltd (confirmed via Wikipedia). It operates regional ATR42/72 turboprop service into Popayán, including the Popayán-Bogotá Terminal Puente Aéreo route, and self-handles its own flights as is standard for the carrier at smaller Colombian stations lacking third-party handlers. The listed phone number is a legacy EasyFly contact line and could not be re-verified under the current Clic Air brand, so treat it as unconfirmed.

Aircraft fuel Unconfirmed
Organización Terpel S.A.
Terpel is Colombia's leading aviation-fuel distributor, with into-plane presence at dozens of airports and national supply contracts with Avianca and other carriers; specific into-plane fuelling presence at Popayán was not confirmed on a dedicated source (a prior claim of "21 Colombian airports" could not be verified and conflicted with Terpel's own current materials citing a different multi-country airport count), so treat as unconfirmed pending airport-level verification.

Aviation security Unconfirmed
Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia (Aerocivil)
Aerocivil is confirmed (Aerocivil.gov.co, Wikipedia airport infobox listing operator as government/Aerocivil) as the direct state administrator of Guillermo León Valencia airport, not a concessioned field; aviation security screening/access control at Aerocivil-run airports nationwide is coordinated through Aerocivil AVSEC with Policía Nacional, but no Popayán-specific security contract or unit was independently documented. Note: the phone number in this record is Aerocivil's verified national citizen-service line (•••) — no Popayán-specific extension could be confirmed, so a previously listed local-area-code number was removed as unverifiable.
