Vanguardia Airport VVC / SKVV

Self-handled, ALLAS. Air-taxi/charter operator based at its own hangar at Vanguardia Airport (Certificado de Operación No. 104, issued by Aerocivil, Dec 2015), serving Orinoquía/Amazonía routes with DC-3, Saratoga PA32-R and Arrow III PA28-R aircraft; the company runs its own ramp and turnaround operations from that hangar. Recategorized from an earlier 'flight_support/FBO' tag: city tourism-directory and aviation-directory pages describe the facility with generic FBO/general-aviation boilerplate, but the company's own site confirms only its charter/air-taxi operation and does not itself claim FBO/third-party ground-service status, so that broader claim is dropped rather than carried as unconfirmed flight_support.

Self-handled, Avianca. Avianca operates scheduled A319/A320 service to/from VVC with its own check-in counters and gate operations (confirmed via airline-office and flight-status listings); no independent third-party ground handler was identified at this airport, consistent with airline self-handling at Colombian secondary stations.

Self-handled, Satena. Satena (state-owned regional carrier) operates ATR 72/E145/B190 equipment from VVC as a hub for onward routes to Mitú, Puerto Carreño and Puerto Inírida, with its own Villavicencio office; no independent third-party ground handler identified, consistent with self-handling.

Self-handled, EasyFly. Trade-press coverage (La República, Viva El Meta) confirms EasyFly opened a full operations base at Villavicencio in 2022 with aircraft and crew stationed on-site, projected to add ~960 flights/25% more operations; a stationed-crew base implies EasyFly performs its own ramp/turnaround handling rather than contracting a third party, though no separate handling-license document was found.

Into-plane Jet A-1/Avgas supplier and operator of the airport fuel station at Vanguardia; Terpel took over the fuel service stations previously supplying VVC and San José del Guaviare, and press coverage (2024 supply-guarantee statements) plus recurring 'Operador combustible Terpel aeropuerto Villavicencio' job postings confirm Terpel executes reception, storage and supply of aviation fuel here.

Aeronautical workshop operating out of Hangar 13 at Vanguardia Airport (Colombian business registry: 'mantenimiento y reparación especializada de equipo de transporte, excepto vehículos automotores'). Registry entry confirms the hangar-based aviation-maintenance activity and phone number but does not itemize check level; classified as line/on-site maintenance rather than base maintenance, consistent with a single-hangar workshop at a secondary regional airport with no documented C/D-check or heavy-overhaul capability.

Aircraft maintenance workshop operating out of Hangar 3 at Vanguardia Airport (Colombian business registry: specialized transport-equipment maintenance and repair, excluding motor vehicles). Hangar-based presence documented via business registry; the source does not itemize check level, and there is no documentation of base/heavy-maintenance (C/D-check) capability, so this is classified as line maintenance rather than base maintenance — corrected from an earlier, unsupported 'base_maintenance' tag that had no evidentiary basis for distinguishing it from the line-maintenance shop at Hangar 13.

Air-cargo transport company based at Vanguardia Airport Hangar 1 (business-directory listing, phones ••• / •••); operates and handles its own freight through the airport's cargo terminal. Whether it also handles freight for third parties is undocumented, so third-party cargo-handling scope is unconfirmed rather than assumed.

Dedicated National Police station located at Km 1 Vía Restrepo, Monumento 'Las Arpas', Aeropuerto Vanguardia, per the Policía Nacional's own official directory listing this airport as a staffed unit; provides on-airport law-enforcement/security presence. Specific screening/x-ray operational detail is not published. · Station is airport-based; published administrative hours Mon-Fri 08:00-12:00, 14:00-17:00

Aerocivil directly manages and operates Vanguardia Airport (no private concessionaire); its own 2024 announcement extending operating hours confirms Aerocivil directly provides air traffic control, ramp inspectors and aeronautical fire/rescue (SEI) staff for VVC operations, including night operations, i.e. self-provided flight-ops/airport-ops support and ATC/MET/briefing functions. · 05:00-22:00 daily (airport operating hours per 2024 Aerocivil extension)
