Antonio José de Sucre Airport serves Cumaná, the capital of Sucre State in northeastern Venezuela and one of the oldest continuously inhabited European-founded cities in the Americas. The airport provides essential air connectivity for the region, linking Cumaná to Caracas and other Venezuelan destinations. Named after Venezuelan independence hero Antonio José de Sucre, the airport handles both domestic and limited international traffic. It serves travelers accessing the Cumaná coast, the Araya Peninsula, and the broader Sucre State region. Operations at the airport have been affected by Venezuela's broader economic challenges, which have reduced airline frequency and overall passenger volumes in recent years.
