About El Tigre Airport
El Tigre Airport is a small airport serving El Tigre, a town in the state of Anzoátegui in eastern Venezuela. Located about 6 kilometres south of the town centre, it mainly supports regional and general aviation traffic in an area closely tied to Venezuela's petroleum industry. The airport lies near the Orinoco Oil Belt, where El Tigre and neighbouring San José de Guanipa together form an urban area of roughly 290,000 residents. Its role is primarily regional, providing access for oil-industry workers, business travellers and local flights. It has a single asphalt runway oriented 08/26 and sits at an elevation of about 255 metres (837 feet). The compact terminal brings check-in, security, arrivals and basic passenger services together in one area, keeping the travel process straightforward. Because the airport is close to the town, central El Tigre is normally reachable in around 10 to 15 minutes by taxi or pre-arranged transfer. The nearby San Tomé Airport offers additional regional air links, and road connections continue to San José de Guanipa and other towns across Anzoátegui.
