Location

Marandúa, Colombia

Marandúa Air Base (ICAO: SKUA) is a Colombian Air Force installation located in the Vichada Department, in the vast Llanos Orientales (eastern plains) region of Colombia. The base sits in an extremely remote and sparsely populated area near the Venezuelan border, serving primarily strategic military purposes. The facility supports Colombian Air Force operations related to border surveillance, counter-narcotics missions, and territorial control in the eastern frontier region.
