About Higuerote Airport

Higuerote Airport, identified by IATA code HGE and ICAO code SVHG, is a state-operated domestic aerodrome serving the coastal municipality of Higuerote in Miranda State, Venezuela.

Its single runway of approximately 1,800 metres accommodates light jets and turboprop aircraft comfortably, though larger cabin jets require careful range and weight planning.
