Small regional airport serving Venezuela's Apure state.

Location
Elorza, Venezuela
Elorza Airport (IATA: EOZ, ICAO: SVEZ) is a small general aviation and regional airport located in Elorza, a town in Apure state in southwestern Venezuela. It serves as a key air access point for a remote llanos region where road infrastructure is limited and air travel is often the most practical means of transportation. The airport handles light aircraft and occasional regional flights, connecting the isolated community of Elorza with larger Venezuelan cities. Given its remote location near the Colombian border along the Arauca River, the airport plays a logistical role for local residents, government operations, and small cargo movements.
Getting to & from
Ground transport to and from the airport is limited, with local road connections to the town of Elorza being the primary option.
