Location

Puerto Cabello, Venezuela

General Bartolome Salom International Airport (IATA: PBL, ICAO: SVPC) is located in Puerto Cabello, Carabobo State, Venezuela, along the northern Caribbean coast.

The airport is named after General Bartolomé Salom, a Venezuelan independence hero who played a key role in the liberation campaigns of the early 19th century. Though classified as an international airport, it primarily handles domestic and limited regional traffic given the broader economic challenges facing Venezuelan aviation.
