About José Leonardo Chirinos Airport
José Leonardo Chirinos Airport is the main air gateway serving Coro, the capital of Falcón state in northwestern Venezuela. Named after José Leonardo Chirino, who led a 1795 rebellion in Coro, the airport primarily handles domestic flights and links the city with other parts of Venezuela.
The airport is located north of central Coro, close to the Médanos de Coro sand dunes, and has a single asphalt runway with a modest passenger terminal. It serves as a convenient arrival point for travelers visiting the city's colonial centre and destinations across the Paraguaná Peninsula.
After periods of limited activity, the airport has undergone renovation and reactivation work aimed at restoring regular air services to the region. Road access to central Coro is short, with taxis and private transfers providing the main onward connections.
As a small regional airport, it offers essential passenger services rather than a full range of commercial facilities, and its proximity to the city makes it a practical entry point for visitors to Falcón state.
