Teniente Coronel Rafael Pabón Airport — Villamontes, Bolivia

VLM represents Teniente Coronel Rafael Pabon Airport, serving the city of Valera in Trujillo State, Venezuela, within the Venezuelan Andes region. The airport supports domestic flights connecting this agricultural and commercial city, known for coffee and sugarcane production, to larger urban centers in Venezuela. Valera's mountainous surroundings make air travel a valuable alternative to lengthy overland routes through Andean terrain. VLM has historically operated with modest infrastructure appropriate to regional Venezuelan air travel demand. As with many Venezuelan domestic airports, flight frequency at VLM has been affected by broader economic conditions impacting the country's aviation sector in recent years.
