Gateway to Bolivia's tropical Beni Department lowlands.
Location
Trinidad, Bolivia
Teniente Av. Jorge Henrich Arauz Airport (IATA: TDD, ICAO: SLTR) serves Trinidad, the capital of the Beni Department in northeastern Bolivia. Situated in the heart of the Amazon basin lowlands, the airport is the primary air link connecting Trinidad to the rest of Bolivia, as road access to the city can be severely limited during the rainy season.
The airport is named in honor of Bolivian aviation pioneer Lieutenant Jorge Henrich Arauz. It handles domestic flights operated by Bolivian carriers, connecting Trinidad to major cities such as La Paz, Cochabamba, and Santa Cruz. Given the region's geography, air travel is often the most practical mode of long-distance transportation for residents and visitors alike.
The facility is modest in scale, reflecting the relatively small population of Trinidad and the surrounding Beni region. It supports both commercial passenger services and general aviation operations serving the broader lowland territory.
