Small domestic regional aerodrome serving Tucupita, capital of Delta Amacuro state, on the Orinoco Delta; served on a limited/irregular basis by Conviasa (Venezuela's state carrier) mainly to Maturin and other domestic points, with no scheduled international or customs/immigration service. No official current passenger-throughput statistics are published by INAC for this field; the pax figure above is a rough regional-airport estimate, not a verified INAC total, and should be treated as indicative only given Venezuela's broader reduction in domestic air service.

INAC (Instituto Nacional de Aeronáutica Civil)
TUV is directly state-operated by INAC (co-located with a Venezuelan military air base per the airport's own operator record), and no dedicated third-party ground-handling company or licensed agent is documented for this small, low-traffic field (~3,000 pax/yr estimate, historically about one weekly Conviasa rotation). As the confirmed direct operator, INAC/airport staff would by default provide ramp access, marshalling and basic turnaround support for the limited scheduled service, but this specific service could not be independently verified from public sources, so status is unconfirmed rather than available.

INAC (Instituto Nacional de Aeronáutica Civil)
Jet A-1 is nominally listed for this field, but the airport's own record flags availability as unconfirmed/intermittent given Venezuela's ongoing fuel-supply disruptions affecting domestic aviation; no dedicated fuel company, into-plane agent or FBO is documented at this small aerodrome. INAC, as the field's confirmed direct state operator, would be nominally responsible for any on-site depot, but no named fuel supplier or delivery arrangement could be verified, so this is recorded as unconfirmed rather than naming an unverified supplier. Crews should confirm fuel availability directly with INAC or Conviasa before flight planning.

INAC (Instituto Nacional de Aeronáutica Civil)
INAC is Venezuela's national civil aviation authority and is the confirmed publisher of this specific field's AIP/AIS record (SVTC — AIP Venezuela / INAC), and INAC nationally manages air navigation and aeronautical-information services; this is a station-specific AIP citation, not a generic group-level claim, so flight-information/NOTAM support via INAC is recorded as available.
