El Caraño Airport UIB / SKUI

Airplan S.A. has held the El Caraño airport concession since late 2009 (confirmed: Spanish Wikipedia states "A finales de 2009 el aeropuerto... fue entregado en concesión al operador privado Air Plan") and runs the terminal and its own "Seguridad Operacional" programme (per aeropuertoquibdo.co nav). No dedicated third-party ramp/ground-handling company is listed on the airport's own tenant pages, so apron coordination and turnarounds for the ATR-42/72 and Let-410-class fleet using this field appear to fall to Airplan itself and/or the operating carriers; not confirmed at company-name level for a named handling agent.

State-owned carrier operates scheduled service into UIB with its own sales counter at the airport (confirmed: Tiendeo lists "Aeropuerto El Caraño Local 9, Quibdó" as a Satena location, distinct from its downtown Calle 2 office); Satena was created specifically to serve Colombia's under-served regional routes and typically self-handles ramp/passenger operations at fields like El Caraño that lack a dedicated third-party handler. Phone corrected on: the previously listed toll-free-style number could not be verified and was malformed for a +57-prefixed line; replaced with Satena's own verified national sales/call-center number (•••) from satena.com — this is the airline's national line, not a Quibdó-specific one (none published). Self-handling not independently documented for this specific station.

Named on GAF's own airport-supply network page as the Jet A-1 fuel supplier at "Quibdó El Caraño, OACI SKUI, IATA UIB" (confirmed directly on gafcolombia.com's red de suministro page: "Quibdó El Caraño OACI SKUI IATA UIB PAÍS Colombia — Combustible disponible: JET A1"), one of GAF's ~40 Colombian supply points; the into-plane agent physically fuelling aircraft at the field is not separately named — may be GAF directly via mobile refueller or a sub-contracted local agent. Airport-specific email/phone could not be (site surfaces only general Bogotá contact details), but nothing found contradicts them.

Confirmed by Spanish Wikipedia's El Caraño article alongside LAS as a freighter operator through the airport's cargo terminal, flying Boeing 737-400 and Antonov 32 equipment; freight handling presumed self-handled, AerCaribe — not corroborated on a second independent source.

Under Aerocivil's RAC 17 aviation-security programme, passenger/baggage screening and airport guarding at every Colombian commercial-service aerodrome is executed by the Policía Nacional's airport-security unit — this is a nationwide legal framework, not a station-specific claim transferred from elsewhere. The airport's own site (aeropuertoquibdo.co) reportedly documents X-ray baggage screening and boarding-gate controls at UIB consistent with this framework, but that specific page could not be re-fetched (certificate error) so that detail is unverified rather than disproven; no UIB-specific unit name or contact was found.
