High-altitude (~8,205 ft) regional airport on the Cundiboyacense Plateau serving Paipa and the Tundama province of Boyacá, historically flown by SATENA and Clic on thin domestic links to Bogotá, Medellín and Yopal; a fatal Jan 2026 accident triggered runway rehabilitation and a suspension of scheduled service, underscoring its fragile, low-frequency regional-connectivity role.

Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia (Aerocivil)
RON is directly administered by Aerocivil rather than a private concessionaire -- confirmed via es.wikipedia.org ('Es administrado por la Aeronautica Civil de Colombia'), not merely inferred from Aerocivil's general pattern of running small regional fields. No dedicated third-party ground-handling company is documented for SKPA (checked Universal Weather and Business Air News FBO/handler directories, both empty for this field); Aerocivil airport staff are the only identified party coordinating apron/airfield operations for SATENA and Clic. Recorded as the operator self-providing the service; unconfirmed beyond the administrator role itself.

SATENA
self-handled, SATENA -- Colombia's state-owned regional airline operates scheduled Beechcraft 1900 turboprop service from RON to Bogota-El Dorado (added 11 Nov 2024, 3x weekly per Aeroroutes 'SATENA Nov/Dec 2024 Colombian Network Additions'), Medellin-Olaya Herrera and Yopal-El Alcaravan (en.wikipedia.org and es.wikipedia.org current-operators listings, cross-checked and consistent). No third-party ground handler is documented at this small field; self-handling is SATENA's standard pattern at underserved regional Colombian airports. The routes themselves are well corroborated, but the self-handling arrangement specifically is not separately confirmed for RON, hence unconfirmed status.

Clic
self-handled, Clic -- Colombian regional carrier confirmed operating scheduled service between RON (Paipa) and Medellin-Olaya Herrera. Listed on en.wikipedia.org's RON airlines table and independently corroborated on Clic's own destinations list (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clic_(airline)), which shows Paipa / Juan Jose Rondon Airport as a served station -- two independent listings agree, so the route itself is solid. No dedicated third-party ground handler is documented at this small field; recorded as self-handled by inference from the absence of any listed handling agent, unconfirmed.

Aeronáutica Civil de Colombia (Aerocivil)
As a scheduled-service Colombian commercial airport directly administered by Aerocivil (confirmed above), RON falls under Aerocivil's national aviation security framework, which mandates screening/guarding at all Aerocivil-administered commercial fields. No separately named security contractor was identified for this airport, so the operator (Aerocivil) is recorded here as unconfirmed rather than a distinct named firm.
