Anaco Airport — Anaco, Venezuela

Anaco Airport, in Venezuela's Anzoátegui State, flies out of a single runway, 721 feet above sea level, right on the edge of the town it serves. Traffic here stays domestic, typical of a part of the country better known for its interior towns than for major international arrivals. Anzoátegui sits in eastern Venezuela, and Anaco's location places the airport well inland from the Caribbean coast that draws most foreign visitors. Its medium-airport status reflects a role as a domestic connector, giving locals a faster alternative to the long overland routes linking smaller Venezuelan towns to the capital.
