Airport contact
A remote Amazon-basin airstrip 4 km from the Brazilian border, served only by Satena's subsidized Dornier 328 route to Leticia (Alfredo Vásquez Cobo Intl.); despite its border location it functions as a purely domestic strip with no customs/immigration post, no fuel, and minimal infrastructure, reflecting its role as a lifeline connection rather than a commercial gateway.

SATENA (Servicio Aéreo a Territorios Nacionales)
Self-handled, SATENA. Confirmed (en.wikipedia.org airport article; this dataset's own SKTP/TCD record) as the sole scheduled operator at Tarapacá (IATA TCD), a 1,075 m runway 07/25 strip near the Brazilian border, flying the subsidized Leticia-Tarapacá route. No third-party ground handling company is documented at this remote single-carrier airstrip -- this dataset's own airport record notes "no scheduled ground handling infrastructure beyond basic apron services" -- consistent with SATENA self-handling turnarounds at other small Amazonas/Choco outstations already documented in this dataset (Leticia, Guapi, Bahia Solano, Nuqui, Saravena, La Chorrera), but no station-specific handling contract or citation was found for Tarapaca itself.

Cargo handling
Unconfirmed
SATENA (Servicio Aéreo a Territorios Nacionales)
Self-handled, SATENA. SATENA's own cargo page (satena.com/carga) confirms an airport-to-airport mail/cargo service extended to "todos nuestros destinos" (all our destinations), covering dry cargo, perishables and live animals -- consistent with the carrier's mandate as Colombia's state social-interest airline to carry cargo and mail alongside passengers to isolated Amazonas communities lacking other transport access. The page does not name Tarapaca specifically, and no Tarapaca-specific cargo-terminal or tonnage documentation was found; this reflects SATENA's general network-wide cargo policy applied to a confirmed SATENA destination, not a station-specific citation.
