Leaving Lagos

Coro is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is José Leonardo Chirinos Airport (CZE), 1 km (1 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,761 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Josefa Camejo International Airport (LSP, 66 km).

| Josefa Camejo International Airport (regional) | LSP | 66 km (41 mi) | 9,186 ft | 75 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,027 km (4,988 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
