Barinas Airport — Barinas, Venezuela

Barinas Airport, coded BNS, serves Barinas, the capital of Barinas state in the plains region of western Venezuela. The airport sits at 615 feet in elevation, and two runways give the field a bit more capacity than many of its regional neighbors. Positioned in the heart of Los Llanos, Venezuela's vast cattle-ranching lowlands, the airport provides air access to a city otherwise reached by long overland routes. Domestic carriers have historically linked Barinas to Caracas, supporting trade in agricultural and livestock products from the surrounding plains, even as passenger volumes remain modest compared with the country's coastal airports.
