Antonio José de Sucre Airport — Cumaná, Venezuela

Cumana, founded in 1515 and often cited among the oldest continuously inhabited European-founded settlements in South America, relies on the airport named for independence hero Antonio Jose de Sucre and coded CUM for its domestic air connections. Positioned along Venezuela's northeastern Caribbean coast, the facility gives travelers access to Mochima National Park's beaches and islands without the long drive from Caracas. Economic and political turmoil in Venezuela has reduced scheduled service considerably compared to earlier decades, though the airport continues limited domestic operations. Its runway sits near the Manzanares River close to the historic city center.
