Ask locally about the current runway and flight status before heading to the airport; in this part of Beni, schedules can shift quickly with weather, and a phone call or local contact often saves a long wait.
🚖 Getting There

If you are arriving without a prearranged pickup, confirm the fare and availability before leaving the terminal, as rides may be limited outside flight times.
