Gateway to the Venezuelan Andes, nestled among mountains.

Location
Mérida, Venezuela
Alberto Carnevalli Airport serves Mérida, the capital of Mérida State in western Venezuela and a major hub for Andean tourism. The airport is named after Alberto Carnevalli, a prominent Venezuelan politician and former governor of Mérida State who was exiled and died in 1953. The airport is notable for its challenging mountainous setting, situated in a valley of the Andes at an elevation of approximately 1,495 meters (4,905 feet) above sea level, which presents significant operational challenges for pilots and limits the size of aircraft that can operate there. Due to its constrained geography, runway limitations, and surrounding terrain, Alberto Carnevalli Airport has experienced periodic closures and service restrictions over the years. Air connectivity to Mérida has been inconsistent, with domestic carriers adjusting or suspending service at various times.
