Airport contact
Despite its 'International' name, STD is currently a domestic-only regional field: Conviasa, Aerolíneas Estelar, LASER Airlines, RUTACA Airlines and Turpial Airlines link Santo Domingo del Táchira only to other Venezuelan cities (Caracas, Maracaibo, Maturín, Porlamar, Valencia), reflecting the broader contraction of Venezuela's aviation sector under US sanctions and economic crisis. INAC does not currently publish per-airport passenger or fuel-availability statistics for this field, so pax figures above and fuel status are conservative estimates, not official data.

Ground handling Unconfirmed · 3 providers
BAER (Bolivariana de Aeropuertos)
State enterprise BAER is the confirmed administrator of this specific airport (es.wikipedia.org: commercial area passed to BAER S.A. administration in 2013; baer.gob.ve has run multiple articles specifically about this field, e.g. its Oct 2024 254 KVA alternate-power upgrade, May 2024 platform works, and Sept 2025 terminal-space renovation). No separate ground-handling concessionaire is documented for STD, and BAER's handling arm SEA (Servicios Especializados Aeroportuarios) describes 'complete equipment and certified personnel' assisting cargo and passenger aircraft plus general aviation, dispatch and flight monitoring — but SEA's own service page is generic/group-level and does not name STD or any specific airport it covers, so direct ground-handling provision at this field is inferred, not confirmed.

Conviasa
Likely self-handled, Conviasa. Wikipedia's article on this airport confirms Conviasa operates scheduled service here (to Caracas, Maturín and Porlamar), consistent with Venezuelan domestic carriers self-handling their own turnarounds at smaller stations lacking an independent handler — no third-party ground handler is documented at •••) and phone number attributed to aerolineasvenezolanas.net, but that site's actual article on Conviasa flights to Santo Domingo del Táchira contains no such email and only a general reservations line (•••); the specific contact details could not be corroborated anywhere and have been removed as unverifiable.

Rutaca Airlines
In-house, Rutaca Airlines. Rutaca operates scheduled service between Santo Domingo del Táchira and Caracas — confirmed via flyrutaca.com's own booking widget, which lists STD as an available origin, and independently via Wikipedia's airport article, which names Rutaca among the four carriers serving STD. No third-party ground handler is documented at STD and Venezuelan regional carriers typically self-handle their own flights at smaller domestic stations lacking an independent handling company, but this self-handling is inferred rather than directly evidenced for Rutaca at this specific field.

Aircraft fuel Unconfirmed
Deltaven (PDVSA)
Deltaven, PDVSA's commercial-fuels subsidiary, markets Jet A-1 under the PDV brand; Spanish Wikipedia's Deltaven article confirms the exact figure of 16 Venezuelan airports supplied for commercial aviation. STD is not individually named in any source found, so its inclusion in that 16-airport network is not directly confirmed, but Deltaven/PDV is the only aviation-fuel commercial entity operating in Venezuela and the default supplier for domestic-network airports of this type.

Cargo handling Unconfirmed
BAER (Bolivariana de Aeropuertos)
SEA (BAER's specialized-services division) states its ground-handling scope covers cargo aircraft assistance in addition to passenger handling, at the group level only; no dedicated cargo terminal operator or freight tenant was found specifically for STD, and no courier/freight company (MRW, Tealca, Zoom) advertises an airport cargo desk here — likely handled ad hoc by BAER/airline staff for the low volumes on this short-hop domestic field.

Aviation security Unconfirmed
Guardia Nacional Bolivariana (GNB)
GNB is the constitutionally-mandated component of the Bolivarian Armed Forces responsible for security, customs and airport policing at Venezuelan civil airports nationally. Wikipedia's GNB article confirms a real Táchira zone command (Comando de Zona Nº 21 / CZGNB-21, seated in San Cristóbal) and a real Air Support Section (Sección de Apoyo Aéreo Paramillo, San Cristóbal, Estado Táchira); this being a joint civil/military 'Base Aérea' field under Fuerza Aérea Venezolana co-location, GNB/FAV security presence is standard practice but no airport-specific tenant confirmation for STD itself was found.

BAER (Bolivariana de Aeropuertos)
SEA's own service description includes an FBO line covering fuel supply coordination, aircraft maintenance liaison, crew assistance, aircraft parking and flight-dispatch coordination for general aviation, as BAER's stated diversification into handling/GA services; not confirmed as actively staffed at Santo Domingo specifically, and commercial FBO directories (Universal Weather, Business Air News) list no FBO/handler at SVSO/STD.
