José Leonardo Chirinos Airport guide

José Leonardo Chirinos Airport (ICAO SVCR) serves Coro, the capital of Falcón state in northwestern Venezuela. It lies on the northern edge of the city, at an elevation of about 16 metres. The airport is named after José Leonardo Chirino, who led an 1795 rebellion in Coro that called for the abolition of slavery.

The airport has one asphalt runway, 09/27, about 2,060 metres long. The terminal was refurbished in July 2024. It now has a waiting area, a baggage area, public restrooms, parking and bilingual signage, plus offices for the customs agency Seniat and for Conviasa, and a travel agency desk.

Scheduled flights stopped for about 13 years. They returned in August 2025, when Rutaca began a Monday service to Caracas Maiquetía with a flight time of about 47 minutes. Conviasa, La Venezolana and Avior have also expressed interest in serving Coro. Check the current schedule with the airline before booking.
