Antonio José de Sucre Airport guide

Antonio José de Sucre Airport (ICAO SVCU) is the commercial airport of Cumaná, capital of Sucre State on Venezuela's northeastern coast. It sits at 7.6 metres above sea level and has a single asphalt runway, 08/26, 3,100 metres long. The airport opened in the mid-1980s and was classified as international at the time, a status it has since lost.

Scheduled service is thin. In March 2026 Conviasa, the state airline, flew only two weekly flights to Caracas, after Sunday flights were cut and Rutaca Airlines left. Earlier operators on the Caracas route included Aeropostal, Estelar, Avior Airlines, Santa Bárbara Airlines and Venezolana, with Rutaca and Venezolana also linking Porlamar.

In June 2026 Sucre business groups asked for the international category to be restored, saying the runway needs rehabilitation and the radar system needs modernising. No public transport serves the airport, so passengers arrive by taxi or private car.
