Barinas Airport (BNS/SVBI) is a medium-sized domestic airport serving Barinas, the capital of Barinas state in Venezuela’s Los Llanos region.

The facility is compact, so arrivals and departures are generally quick when flights are operating.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors confirm flight status by phone before leaving for the airport—BNS schedules can change with little notice, and airline counters may not be staffed outside flight times.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis and mototaxis are the usual way to reach central Barinas; agree on the fare before departing or use a hotel-arranged transfer. Ride-hailing apps may be unreliable, so pre-booking is safer, especially for early flights. Allow extra time during heavy rain, as road conditions in the Llanos can slow traffic.
