Regional gateway serving Venezuela's Apure state.
Location
Guasdualito, Venezuela
Guasdualito Airport (IATA: GDO, ICAO: SVGD) is a small domestic airport located in Guasdualito, a town in Apure state in southwestern Venezuela, near the Colombian border. It serves as an important air link for a region where road travel can be challenging due to limited infrastructure and vast llanos (plains) terrain.
The airport operates primarily domestic routes connecting Guasdualito with Caracas and other Venezuelan cities. Given Venezuela's broader economic challenges, scheduled services have been limited and subject to frequent changes in recent years.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes typical of a regional domestic facility.
Getting to & from
Ground transport between the airport and Guasdualito town center is primarily by taxi or private vehicle, as no formal public transit system serves the facility.
